Congrats on reaching 20k @Bing - that's quite a milestone that deserves a celebration. Break out the champagne (and coins!)

Wow! 20.000...Congratulations, Bing! I've only gotten as far as one percent of that... And a nice coin. It's on my wishlist as well. Only 19.788 more posts to go before I can afford it...
Congrats on the 20 K @Bing ! I've been here for 15 years and have "only" posted 5 K messages And very nice gift from you to yourself ! Steve would have said : "you rock coin bro' !" Q
While it is unlikely we will ever meet face to face, I have felt honored to have known you both in the Coin Community days and since the boot brought us to Coin Talk. I do even forgive you for beating me to the 20000 mark before I got there. Wanna race to 100,000 likes? At current pace the survivor should get there in five years or so.
Sooner I think. I even gave you another "like". And thanks for the kind words. I dunno. My son doesn't live far from you in Manassas. I haven't been there in about 3 years, but one day when I do visit, perhaps we can meet up. I've been wanting to sit on Santa's knee again. I am going thru my second childhood (or maybe it's still the first).
20,000 Posts A stellar achievement, Of remarkable note - 20,000 posts! A number most remarkable, Exceeding a mortal's hopes – 20,000 posts! Congratulations, Bing! The output is prodigious And the future is auspicious For you’re clearly feeling your oats – Now on to 100,000 posts!
If you play it right, the two can meet in the middle. The old saying is, "The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys."
