Gee! My first reaction is :D but also :oops: !

Thus...a big THANKS to you, Don, and others here for providing a welcoming and caring community that led me to spend hundreds of hours attempting to do my best to aid a product and a developer that should be the model for how things are done! Huge congrat's to you, Don!

When I first began posting here, I would never have thought that I would have gotten this involved in something that doesn't benefit me financially...but it does provide me great satisfaction in seeing a product develop to be more useful, not only to me, but others, and thus prosper.

I'll be the first to admit that some of my posts look a bit silly to me in long hindsight, but I'm sure others feel the same as well...now, I generally try and be as positive as possible, since I think everyone reacts better to compliments than complaints, and yes, Don and I have had our differences and some are still thus, though most all have been resolved, sometimes via the intervention of other valued users here...Hey, even DP seems now possible!

I'd really like to thank jacky for his support here as well...that's not to say many others aren't as valuable (you are!), but...he does come in 3rd in post count here at least, and that wiki! Fabulous! And jacky has left me WAY behind in the dust when it comes to scripting as well. :lol:

Let's just say that I hope one day to meet Don on Cape Cod at my cottages, where he can relax a bit and thus be ready to handle the demands of us users who keep pestering him for this feature and that tweak! :roll:

Hope that my support has helped to make Don some money and more in the future!

Happy j_c_hallgren day!

Thanks to you (and to everyone else who spends gobs of time on here) for helping the rest of us out and for running interference for Don so he can concentrate on making XY the great app that it is!

Congrats from me too!

This XY thing is addictive, the program is great but the forum activity is equally great and you provide input that keeps every one in check - well done!

Nice Job, J_C -- Thanks for all you do on this forum!

I think we joined about the same time, and I'm almost keeping up with you in post count! :)

To do a little justice to all the other incredible members in this forum, here is page full of XY hardcorers:

I think I'm really blessed with an excellent club. :D

110% agree! That's why in my original post, I said:

And we have one user (serendipity) who shows on that list twice as he switched ID's along the way, so his total combined post count is quite significant.

I most definitely appreciate the work of the others who are on the top 25+ of the post count tots as does Don. That's a good part of reason why I spend so much time here!

Now if I only could contact some of these members via Skype voice to have a real "chat", it'd be ideal and make my day!

That's why I put the "+" plus...and...you're actually #25 since serendipity/surrender is one user. :wink:

Maybe you need to post more often? :lol:

JC: are you trying to turn this into a competition???? :D

:roll: NO way! Not at all! Just suggesting that if Pagat felt omitted because I said 25+ and he was #26, he could move up the tote board by making more contributions, that's all...we can certainly use more input from the user group represented by those in the 10's-20's on that seq list.

I have never thought of this as a competition, and actually feel just a tiny bit :oops: that I'm #2...I didn't intend it that way, but I am always willing to respond, and have the time to do so, thus I do often...
