My apologies to Madmax-im.

Ok, so I was busy this weekend...
It's not my fault...
It's this damned new format we have here.
The old XS11.com format had a real nifty feature in the "Members" section.
I could hit the button and it would show the "top posters" here.
The new format doesn't seem to have this option.
Ok, so that may not be a big deal for most of you, but I used it, by scrolling back a few pages, to see which members were approaching their 1,000th post, and thus, GURU status.
I was barely able to keep track of EGSOLS making GURU last week... and sadly, MADMAX-im slipped in under my radar and fell through the cracks.
So... just because I didn't herald in Madmax-im in my usual manner, don't go thinking that I don't like him or something. (I actually don't, but there's no reason for you to think that.)
Anyway...
"ALL HAIL THE NEW GURU... MADMAX_IM!"

He's already jumped the 'official' gun and made his speech... so go read http://www.xs11.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20321 and give him the praise that he deserves.

Well Its abt time

Nah just kidding PROM...I even like you too...maybe the new format can be modified to incorporate that feature you're missing...so as for apologies... I'll say you're a sorry...But dont think for a minute this is the end of me...you're stuck with me until I do something so objectionable that I get bannedbut barring Ron Paul and a certain thread emmanating from SC... youre gonna be seeing me for quite some time...Like I said earlier,my time here has been remarkable and full of learning.Do I know what you all know?Partially...but this is ongoing and we never
should stop growing and learning.If people here appreciate me and whatever small contribution I have made its only a reflection of ALL OF YOU!For I am only as good as those whom I choose to associate myself with.So heres to one of the very best groups that I am more than proud to be a part of.Thankyou for your recognition.I feel the best has yet to come.

Madmax-im, again congrats!

Prom...I found a utility to search for members under the advanced search of the members list. It allows one to search, among other criteria, for a memeber by number of posts, i.e. say between 900 and 1000.

Ratbyk at 996, Shuriken at 974.

Aha!

Odd, how everyone says you're useless, EGSOLS.
Well, I mean... I say it too, but in this instance, you've been very helpful.

Yeah.. Ratbyk... been around a long time.. but posts infrequently, last posting was around the end of Denny's last rally. Kept a watchful eye for a while... but then relaxed my gaze.
Shuriken confused me for a while months back, till I realized who it was... with a new name.
(I'll always hate him for that)
Anyway... much thanks.

It's always nice to be appreciated.
