* * JJ...Congratulations From The Team !!!

Congratulations JJ, on your 50,000th post milestone..........

I was going to pick out one of your best posts that most reflected the spirit of TRF..
But I couldn't find one

So, I was going to post one of your posts that would be an example to others of the knowledge and breadth of TRF members......
But I couldn't find one.

Then, I thought I would post one that contributed to the understanding of what Rolex has accomplished in the world......
But I couldn't find one..

Maybe one that showed a flash of brilliance beyond the norm........Couldn't find that either...

Well, perhaps a single post that contributed to the horological knowledge base of TRF as a whole.....
Nope, couldn't find one..

Anyway...... We're sure they have all been....well,....er....you know...........OK posts................keep it up.. (posting we mean)

Everybody has their place on TRF (except for those who are banned or jumped ship); JJ's is the most visible!

If you spent an average of 30 seconds per post, that would be roughly 2.8 years of your life. Even adjusting to 10 seconds a post, it's still almost a year. Adjust for the amount of time spent reading others' postings before you respond... My God, when do you wind your watch, kiss your wife, or fill the car with gas?

That is a lot of time, but it equates to 400 hours

You know what would be funny is to make a sticky of JJ's threads, then the MODS move every post JJ makes to that thread!

Yeah, I've had a few this evening

J.J. Congratulations for the awesome amount of posts. We have an elder statesman here.

How many average posts per day does this come to?

Here's to 50,000 more plus your award winning smile in each one of them.

Yes, what he lacks in substance, he more than makes up in preponderance... Throw in a dash of redneck, another pinch of Bitsy and you've got that cuckoo's nest called TRF...

Always a pleasure...
