if you were knocking on my door i would be running to open it, even if you have no champagne ! (although cake and champagne does sound really good...) hopefully one of us will close the distance one of these days !!

I'll bring the champagne if one of you bring pastries.

Goodonya, my Queen!

I have now passed 7,000 posts. It seems sometimes like I got the Sony Reader just last weekend and at other times like I've always had one. As I said in my first post at MobileRead, I joined MobileRead shortly after getting the Sony.

Congratulations on passing 7,000 posts, RWood!!

And from that first post, "In a long term test I wonder how well the Reader will survive in the near salt water environment. Will the chrome pieces become pitted? Time will tell."

How did it stand up?

Patricia · 09-06-2009, 03:57 PM

Congratulations, Wood!
7000 posts is a real achievement, particularly when we remember all the work that has gone into Your Harvard Classics, not to mention the Andrew Lang Fairy books of various colours. Also your Chekhov!
I always have several of your books on my reader, and am still very grateful for all the help you gave me when I first got mine.

zelda_pinwheel · 09-06-2009, 04:08 PM

congratulations wood !!! just think how far you've come since you joined. i bet you never imagined all the things you would do here at the time.

i've really enjoyed getting to know you and i can't wait to see your next 7000 posts. here's a toast to you !

Wetdogeared · 09-06-2009, 04:39 PM

Congratulations RWood. I see that you were welcomed to MR by Alex, back when he had more time.

I've enjoyed your friendship and look forward to many more of your posts.

WDE.

RWood · 09-06-2009, 07:02 PM

Thank you all. I have enjoyed every post. All of you make a wonderful community that I am proud to be a part. I have met many fantastic people and developed several friendships over the years. It is a nice place to hang your hat. (Or park your avatar, whatever.)

I don't know. It was a question directed by me to raven1 who had posted:

The coastal plain of SE Virginia is better known to the rest of the world as Tidewater, Norfolk, Hampton, Newport News, or Virginia Beach. I live in northern Virginia just outside of Washington, DC. (KAZ, Enola, CassidyM, and Nate the Great are also in the northern part of Virginia. Steve Jordan is just north of us in Maryland.) This area is called the Virginia Piedmont. We are about 65 to 70 miles east of the Blue Ridge Mountains (part of the Appalachian Mountains.)

congratulations rwood

no pitting here in the pacific salt air of far west LA by the sea, sand scratches on the case, no chrome pitting

yvanleterrible · 09-06-2009, 09:38 PM

Beautyful, Wood!

Interesting that you brought us back to your first post, it already showed the promise of leading where you are; sharpness of mind, concision and best a very agreable fellow to chat with.

To more of it all...

WOOHOO, to my favourite Professor.

Personally, I try avoid looking back at what I've written in the past. I usually find little to love and much to regret.

Cheers,
Marc

Congratulations, Wood!

To the next 7,000!
