For reasons I cannot explain, the count that matters is the one on the main forum page. The next registrant will be No. 400.

I am a latecomer to this fabulous, informative forum. And if I may say (write): I am very appreciative that not only does this site exist, but also that it is as active as it is. I learn here every time I visit. Many thanks. Cheers.

And you can all be pretty entertaining as well. And this is a nice thing about this site: If I go to it while I'm at work... it feels like a legitimate place to be.

Perhaps that should be when you go to it while at work?That's how it is for me ... as has been stated, it's both very informative and very entertaining. Definitely my new favorite site.

My senior colleagues encourage the use of this site and others for professional development. Some of the things posted here are used as hand-outs for reporters. All a bit of a worry really.

Welcome to our newest member: Eric Edits .<hr></blockquote>Yes, welcome Eric. I can tell you all, though, that he's been lurking here a while.Hey Eric -- don't bring up how much we all don't make on top of our vacation-policy screwing or we'll never get outta this place.Good thing we won't have to come up with a lot of cash to get to the International Conference, especially if we carpool.Congratulations for the milestone, No. 1. Your evangelizing at ACES must have worked.
