    Jock;
    Congratulations on your 10,000th post. I can honestly say that while I've not seen every one of them, the ones I have, have been some of the best and sensible posts on this forum. I look forward to many more. I raise my Rickards Red and salute you!

    Jock,

    I'd like to add my voice of hearty congratulations and appreciation for your contribution to this community. Although I for one have pushed and challenged you at times, you have kept your poise and responded like the gentleman you most certainly are. You provide the invaluable perspective of a Highland gentleman that is most needed on this site and I echo the claim that xmarks would be far poorer in your absence.

    There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said except that you have my sincere respect and I look forward to the next 10000 posts!

    Here's a health to you Jock, you old fuddy duddy!

    Indeed; heartiest heartiest congratulations on the mile stone and thank you for ten thousand posts worth of patience, excellent advice, humour and kindness. I doubt if there is a member here who hasn't picked up something of worth from you.

    Good heavens, Jock. 10,000 posts and counting! How many keyboards have you worn out already? Do you remember when you used to get titles for the number of posts? I wonder what 10,000 would have been? Keep up the good work and think how many salmon and other wild creatures have been spared while you slave away over a hot computer.

    Jock,

    Congratulations are in order for achieving such a noteworthy Xmarks milestone

    I'd like to make an observation about the impact of your sustained, high quality contributions to this forum and their public nature. If tradition is passing something down from one generation to the next, then in a transnational and technologically facilitated way, you have a great many kilted "descendants," myself included I don't intend to twist the meaning of tradition here, but rather to point out how modern knowledge transmission methods have helped you promote and preserve THCD in a novel way.

    Here's to many more!

    Here, Here, and well said.

    More people in this world could use an "auld crabbit" uncle telling them to pull their trousers (or kilt) up and show a bit of self respect.
