NaeNae is my friend. I'm glad you recognize that these things are 'started with' me. Ha. Thanks for noticing. My buttons are too obvious. I must do more to conceal them. x:-)

35. "RE: 10,000 lottery" This Don person everyone is writing about, is he the one who comes across as being whipped?
I have no idea what that post means. Pocket-rocket might explain what she means by that. I have no idea. Everybody loves to beat up on Don. I've come to expect it over the past five years. The challenges are all personal, never about the content of the posts or the relevance of the information. I keep a jar of vaseline handy. x:-)
Good morning Don! I was muscling my way into bringing on a post from you. I don't think you come across as a whimp, honest. Why, I looked at your profile and you're....
My bet is that Don D checked with James or one of the ladies at MLee Co. and they advised that the program is not set up for more than 4 digits in the # of Posts field so his bold statement of never reaching 10000 was not a gamble but a sure bet!!!!!
The counter updates itself on all your posts every time you post a new one. It's listed as X number of Total Posts ... not the post number of that particular post.
You can look at any post by Don D and hit your browser refresh button to see how close he is to 10K.
Hey Guys! Since Don posted his last post under Don D at 9,999 on Friday, and his first post this morning at 8:00am as Livindonsouth I think that makes his 10,000th post at 8:00am this morning. My vote was for the 23rd mid-day. Do I win? x:7
No Nae Nae, you do not win. Nobody does. The wager, as I read it, was, at what time and place will he post number 10k. He never did. In fact he said in one post that "Don D. will never reach 10,000." I don't pretend to speak for the departed Don D.; however, it's my understanding that he decided to retire the name and had an aversion to reaching that number, 10,000, so he made sure it would not happen. Now, if people will just leave him alone and not refer to him by name, and comment (or not) on the content of his posts, all will be fine. This applies especially to people like Ray and whoever Hrin Fla is. And the occasional SMace with the alum boy mentality.

Sorry, Naenae, didn't mean to pirate your day. I'll change to May 21, still 4:45 am.
Sorry, don't know why I posted twice.
How about a free subscription. Let Don keep it or bestow it on one of the regulars we lost when the rules tightened up.
Just 22 posts in 24 hours? My guess will be May 10th 5:00 pm central time.

And I know you would never...../:)
Speculations?
Mystery soon to be revealed.

Does that make sense?
Perhaps he will revive that one?
I don't know how many he posted under that name, but perhaps he is already technically over 10,000?
Just a thought.
Your professional HR content contribution to the forum is valuable - I am glad it was the number and not the exercise.
Welcome.
