Thanks Les, Jooel, this would be the best place for post 3M, so here goes:
Actually, reaching 3000 isn't a big deal - it starting to get like counting the years over time - each year gets less and less meaningfull, in the grand scheme (scale) of things.
Plus, given the nature of this board here (family), and the friendships that evolved, that - is much more important than some postcount number will ever be

Well then, let's reset the counter.
All this sentimental stuff among techno-weenies is too much. But I also know what you mean...

CONGRATULATION Shawn.
Hey, I agree with you on the count thing. Seems we have a "core" group of good people that seem to want to chat more and more (which is cool as well, that's another reason I think we need a General Discussion area.) Heck, we all know your one of the best and most helpful members we have here - count or no count.
Best Wishes Shawn
ps. Les, I like the idea of your code, except the EXIT 1 section... That's kind of like END/QUIT/NO MORE/DEAD..?? hehehe I hope we all continue on here for a long time to come. [ 16 June 2002, 21:59: Message edited by: NTDOC ]

That formula is a bit like the 'virtual age/appearance' formula a few of us in Germany tried to work out.
The her appearance = her ((age-18)*3) or (age-40) * weight / Amount you drank * hour
Something like that... it only started to make sence after about 3 hefe-weissens

Dear Shawn,
Congratulations. You did it again who enter a new Millenium. It is not only based on great input but also all kind of tourna- ments (Kix-Golf tournament with above 250 reactions in one week).
We like another formula which is agreeable for all parties and the different forums becomes a forum again and no chatroom. For the chatroom we suggest another forum. Our formula
code:
SELECT CASE (counter <= 1000) delay=0 CASE (counter > 1000) 3600 delay = Abs(Int(---------------------------- + 100/Ra * (5.00 - W))) 3600 - ((C - X) - (M1 - M2)) CASE 1 ? "sorry no member." ENDSELECT . . . C = current_date X = registration_date M1 = enter_date_current_millenium M2 = enter_date_previous_millenium . Re = registration number of this member Ra = current_rate W = current_weight_factor
e.g. Shawn values
code:
C = 2002167 (16 June 2002) X = 1999229 (17 August 1999) M1 = 2002166 (15 June 2002) M2 = 2001341 (7 December 2001) . Re = 173 Ra = 38 W = 4.69 . delay becomes: Int(3.23676) = 3 seconds
Another suggestion:
code:
SELECT CASE (T1 < 21600) delay=21600 - T1 ? "Sorry it is bedtime." CASE (T1 - T2 <= 14400) delay=1 CASE (14400 < (T1 - T2)) AND ((T1 - T2) <= 18000) delay=18000 - T1 ? "Sorry, lunch time." CASE (18000 < (T1 - T2)) AND ((T1 - T2) <= 28800) delay=1 CASE (28800 < (T1 - T2)) delay=86400 - T1 ? "Sorry, end of your kix day. please go home." CASE 1 ? "Sorry, you are trying something illegals. ENDSELECT SLEEP delay . . . T1 = current_time (second format) T2 = time_of_first_topic_of_this_day (second format)
greetings. [ 17 June 2002, 00:34: Message edited by: MCA ]

I'll add my sentiment to the others, Shawn. Every one of your (now WELL over) 3000 posts is appreciated. The thing that I appreciate the most is that you are always courteous and thoughtful.
Brian
