Diane, On behalf of the Benevolent Order of Prime Post Pilferers and Poachers, allow me to be the first to recognize your awesome feat and to heartily congratulate you therefor, for we ARE impressed! To pick off Post #50,000 on the Intel thread, and to do so without resorting to the usual chicanery and skulduggery, but observing and implementing true and highminded gamemanship in the spirit in which it is intended, is a major and most noteworthy accomplishment which shall not go unnoticed by those who really count. I'll go see if I can scrounge up a tiara or coffee mug or something for you. I any event, you should receive one of SI's beautiful T-shirts. If you E-mail the webmistress with your snail mail address and the size desired, one should be dispatched to you post haste. You're gonna love it! Guaranteed! Again, Congratulations!!! Holly Charter Member The Benevolent Order of Prime Post Pilferers and Poachers

I'm thrilled for you; 50000 is an awesome number!!! We'll throw a party for you here if you want. Better yet-I think you and I ought to head for that Moroccan restaurant again. It's all very blurry in my mind-especially the drive home. I can't imagine why. I checked out your post and must point out as kindly as I can that you really did gloat a bit, though in a very endearing and ingenuous way, and you can see that because you failed to give credit to the poster of 49999, he has tried to usurp your victory. This would have been avoided by following the guidelines to Correct Posting Etiquette. But overall, it was nicely done. Given the size of the coup, a certain amount of celebratory self-congratulating is forgivable. And it couldn't have happened to a nicer person.
