I remember being all ecstatic when I hit 100, lol. Then all happy again at 1000. Now I'm going for 10,000. Its a slow process though at 3.7 posts per day.
Anyway, congrats to you!
Just keep in mind. Just because someone has 10,000 posts doesn't mean they are a Marine Biologist. And just because they have 10 posts doesn't make them pond scum.
