You should put this in a separate thread to give it more prominence.

Done!

... I am delighted to welcome a new member!

But why do we think "a thousand" is significant? Why are we so curiously in hock to a decimal system that we choose to give 'significance' to the figure of 'a thousand'? - I am sure our 999th member was - and our 1001st member will be - just as 'significant' - and just as welcome ! .

It's like milestones, isn't it? You have one at 10 miles, but not at 9 miles 1600 yards. Of course, every member is loved and cherished

Just to put a downer on matters: how many members are currently active (i.e. have posted in 2012)?

Particularly as we seem to have acquired 4 or 5 new members today.

254 have actually posted this month, but 345 have been 'active' - that is, they have logged in since Jan 1st. I'm pleased with that

Well done ff. 4 or 5 newbies since I looked yesterday. May it long remain a [largely] peaceful and friendly place to be.

When did Barber olli [sp] become a guest though?
