Between us, I never thought I'd last a hundred posts here, let alone one thousand. Seemed like it took forever before I felt comfortable, and I was nicked and scraped and yelled at by mods too many times to count before I found my bearings.
Reaching one thousand posts is truly a milestone, deserving of recognition, perhaps more so than than any greater number you might achieve from now on. It proves that you've persevered, from the first moment you joined AW until today, with a thousand comments in between, and that your presence here means something to those who are following along.
