If the moderator decides to remove all of my posts, that would take rather a long time.

For yours to disappear, would take less time.

I'll have to wait until Thal posts one more time.  I just can't take him as seriously if he's only at 9,999 posts.  Ten thousand, sure.  Of course.  But only 9,999?

But of course, Thal has been a member since 2005, now wouldn't that merit the 1000 posts?  humm?

I am not the one to tell "Thal" what to do, of course. However I can say that if I chose to embark on a writing spree, I would prefer to write on something a little more important. I do enjoy the forum and appreciate all that it offers. Our "Thal" may enjoy it a little too much however.

Thal does enjoy the forum and I have met him in chat room  a few times since I joined PS, and he is a great guy, you know.  I like his sense of humor throughout the threads in which adds some spice into our daily routine.   :)

And yes, i do enjoy this place immensely. Being single gives me an large amount of free time and i choose to spend some of it on here.

Being only a keen amatuer, I have but little wisdom to inpart, so thats where people like you come in.

Could get a little silent now, with your effective and fine sense of humour.


Whoo-whoo.   What a party that was for your 10000 posts.  What a hangover.  I don't feel like coming out of my bed for the next 30 hours.  Thanks a lot, Thal.  You were a great guest.  You got totally drunk and maintained composure, that's admirable, a real gentleman.   And when Niels blew some Sorabji on his kazoo and how Ahinton and you started walzing to that... it simply brought tears to my eyes.   We witnessed that - even if two people do not agree in everything their hearts can be filled with - as brief as it may have been - mutual love.
Thanks Niels for the white drinks and the fish and the sauna, thanks Thal for being here, and thanks Pianostreet for the happinness...  Oooh.  I'm getting melodramatic, what a fatigue, think a go back to bed now.

Kindly.

That will be a long time and possibly never if she comes/is allowed back.

I sometimes get the urge to get people to experiment with the forgotten romantics, but it would be a thankless task.

I can cope with the Chopin threads, but not the Schumann.
