I see your next post will be the 3000th. I've enjoyed all of them. (well... the ones I read anyway)

CONGRATULATIONS on reaching the very exclusive third millenium (MMM) club!

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 [Wink]

Well then, let's reset the counter. [Razz]

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 [Big Grin]

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.

Doc, don't think you will find anyone that disagrees with your General Discussion idea. Would even be nice if we could have it so that posts in General Discussion don't get added to ones post count. Don't know about that. We could have our KiXgolf competitions in there, etc ... guess it will have to wait for Henri to get back from Vacation though ...

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

DOC,
I think, for a General discussion area that we should just rename Starters. I'm all for segregated speciality forums but the last thing we need is yet another general forum.

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 &lt;= 1000)
delay=0
CASE (counter &gt; 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 &lt; 21600)
delay=21600 - T1
? "Sorry it is bedtime."
CASE (T1 - T2 &lt;= 14400)
delay=1
CASE (14400 &lt; (T1 - T2)) AND ((T1 - T2) &lt;= 18000)
delay=18000 - T1
? "Sorry, lunch time."
CASE (18000 &lt; (T1 - T2)) AND ((T1 - T2) &lt;= 28800)
delay=1
CASE (28800 &lt; (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.

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
