> Not to change the subject completely, but in my Location bar while I'm reading your message, it says "http://www.rinkworks.com/rinkforum/view.cgi?post=2000." Is it lying to us, or have we just seen the two-thousandth message posted to this forum?

It's mostly correct. There are a couple of holes in the numbering scheme that were caused when I had to delete a message or two *after* other "keepers" had been posted. (Thus, it was too tedious for me to go renumber all the successive messages to fill in the hole.) Most of the time when I delete messages, it's the most recent message, or there's only one or two afterward and it's easy to fill in the hole. But a couple times I couldn't. So message 2000 is probably really message 1996 or something that got kept (just guessing) and something like the 2020th message ever posted to the forum (again, just guessing).

But close enough.
