... today, I've reached my 21,000th post AND my 1,000th thread on the forum, simultaneously - BOTH at the start of a new quarter - and, in that sense ... ... I suppose this constitutes a "hat trick".
Coincidence? ... I'd pre-planned it through a process of elimination ... ie., by going back over the years I've been a member here and deleting older posts [of mine only - nobody else's were affected!] which - on my part - amounted to little more than trite, "small talk".
So there you have it, an onerous task ... carried out during several of our quieter periods.
