    for my 500th post

    I want to jump on here and say thank you to all of the folks on channel 11 that make this wonderful site allit is.
    Great people, dedicated people that take time out of their busy lives for a common interest. Helpful people that are willing to share tips and parts of their lives with each other.
    From the guys that gently rib one another to the crew that pulled together and made Sailors wish come true before he passed, your generosity and thoughtfullness are inspiring.
    Thanks for the help over the years and I hope to meet more of you.

    Well done

    so it's taken you 5 years to make 500 posts... for this most awesome and amazing feat... I guess you will now be awarded 6 virgins and half price beer...



    Glad to have you around and glad that we are some of the privileged few who have had a chance to meet you in person!

      As good a place as any for this post! #8,000 !

      Wildkat....one who will soon be making her "double" guru status soon, and who has 4 times as many posts at DPotter58.

      This Momentous occasion looked like a good place for me....someone who has 4 times as many posts as Wildkat to make my little post marking my milestone as well!

      I've been on here for some 7 years now, and am very thankful for all of the members that contribute daily, weekly, monthly, whenever they can to the ever growing database of knowledge that IS XS11.com!

      As I've stated many times before, I definitely do not know everything, and I am thankful that I can defer to the many other GURU's on here that DO have the knowledge and expertise that I lack. But I enjoy helping when I can, and also learning new stuff...or relearning old stuff like the Triple Tree mod, eh Fredintoon!

      So...no real great words of wisdom or wit from me today, just a pledge that I'll continue to contribute to the best of my ability.

      Thanks to DPotter for sticking around these past 5 years, and just like the many lurkers and silent members, as well as the prolific posters, all are welcome and appreciated.

                Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

                You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!
