John Simkin became the forum's first "super member" today.
Can any one think of a suitable award for this achievement?

Surely a T shirt with a big S on it.

Nice idea Degsy. But I had good money on you suggesting a Stakhanovite

Congratulations John! Without your interest and enthusiasm (and that of the other administrators and regular posters of course), the forum would not be as dynamic or as interesting as it is. 'Super John' is certainly an achievement!

What happens at the 2000th post I would like to know though??
Cheers!

Wait ten days and find out

Thank you for your kind comments. Although I am an opinionated old sod, the main objective of my posting so much is to encourage contributions from others. I have rightly been accused of sometimes trying too hard to stimulate debate (I should point out that I am not guilty of arguing things I do not believe).

It is true I have been responsible for 16% of all posts. As this is a democratic and cooperative effort, it could be argued that I have a 16% holding in the forum. I look forward to holding a smaller share.

Congratulations, John! I only wish I had enough time on my hands to post more often.

So do I. Your contributions have been much missed.

Congratulations John, well done: you certainly deserve your S(uper) M(ember) T-shirt!
Nico

I think we would like to see your avatar changed to one where you are actually wearing the said S -M t-shirt John! Any chance?

Don't tempt me Maggie!

JS has just gone through 3,000 posts.
Top work keeping the forum going John. Keep it up!

Congratulations. John! So glad to learn you are a Super Super John!
