At the rate I post it will be 2038 before I reach that post count! Although if I continue at the rate I've been going at this week it might be closer to next year.

Kurt and I joined about a month apart, just a little more than 5 years ago. It has been interesting to watch his post number grow exponentially. If I remember correctly, it was only two years ago that he was at 10,000. If this rate increase holds, he should top 30,000 before 2011 is over.

Where does he find all the time to video tape those 1970's game shows?
Keep in mind that aside from bikeforums, he has a train hobby AND maintains his own website. I wonder how much time he puts into those cars he has?

What's most impressive about that number of posts is that they're loaded with information.

Excellent point. On other forums that I belong to, many of the high post count member's posts are worthless drivel. Not here.

Some of us ride to wrench. Apparently Kurt wrenches to post!
Kurt, congrats on the milestone. Thanks for all your well-informed posts, even the crabby ones--well, especially those!
You always tell it like it is.

Congratulation Kurt!
I've always been amazed at the quality of his posts, his attention to detail is simply amazing.

At 20,000 posts, I'm not sure I have a life, as Syke suggests - especially if I'm the ninth most prolific poster on Bikeforums.net. I find the proposition rather frightful at that.
The surprising part of it is that I've been trying to cut down recently.
Nevertheless, I thank you all for the kudos. Fingers crossed for another 20,000 posts of good stuff to come, eh?
-Kurt
