Best Wishes for the next 50,000!!

-- Mike in Concord, NH---Unpleasant tasks are simply worthy challenges to improve skills.

Your approach made me feel welcome; so congratulations, even if you made even just a few of us feel welcome (and I suspect it’s more than just a few).

P.s. 49,993 to go to catch up.

Attaboy Jim. I know you prefer to talk to us instead of Annie …....lol

I know it’s been said – you are an inspiration to us and thanks for your posts. They are informative, encouraging, interesting and friendly, even on your bad days. Often, folk seem to post to toot their horns and that has kept me away from this forum at times. It’s odd that I say this because I’m guilty of it at times. But you are every bit humble with all your knowledge and that keeps me coming back. Looking forward to your next milestone!

Congratulations…Before you know it you will have 100,000 posts.

Hey Jim,

Loved the comment a mile or so back about official greeter, maybe Ms Debbie could arrange a blue LJ’s vest for you ?

Thank you for being an LJ.

Congrats Jim heres to 50,000 more

-- Russel C

Thanks for pointing it out Jim. Thank you for being a positive influence and the LJ ambassador of good will.
I appriciate the time and effort, and I don’t see how any one would see your post count as anything but good news for this site and it’s members.

Thank you.

-- Mel

Thanks for the inputs.

FYI – Whenever I run across a new LJ and am the first to post welcome I am surprised that you were not there first. You’re like the LJ Welcome Wagon.

-- Shameless - Winner of two Stumpy Nubs Awards

Jim, I think that any LJ should be able to make as little or as many comments as they like and not have to explain anything. Some people get upset over things like this and I have never understood why. You’ve got a fine shop, plenty of know how, and you uplift people. You don’t mind helping people and you’re always giving words of encouragement. You are definitely an LJ asset. Sooooooo start working on your second 50,000 right away!!!!

Jim,

I certainly have not read all of your 50,000 posts, but every post you provide is encouraging and/or helpful. I really appreciate your posts. Thank you for your great contributions to this forum.

Thank you Jim. Congrats! Keep it up.

Congratulaions Jim! Thanks for making LJs such a good place for woodworkers to keep coming back to for ideas, information and encouragement. I recall your welcome to me when I first signed on and the helpful comments since then. Thanks for staying involved and encouraging others to do the same.

-- Rick, Tennessee, John 3:16

Thanks to each and every one of you for your supportive comments. You all prove LJs is the place for good friends to enjoy their common interest.

Wow! I am brand new and figured it would take me 776.21 years to match those numbers! Ok, I’m loving the post and pictures of all the projects. I am going to post a few projects soon but stage fright keeps calling. Thanks all of you and this is a good site.

Congratulation Jim,

Like you I try to comment on as many projects as I can, as well as welcome as many new LJ’s as I have time for, I am very appreciative of my fellow LJ’s who take the time to comment on my projects, blogs and those of you who have welcomed me on my first day. Even if its not the greatest creation in the world take the time to let someone know they count, the same reason I do as much as I can.

I look forward to your next 50,000.

-- Martin ....always count the number of fingers you have before, and after using the saw.

I’ve really enjoyed reading your input over the years keep up the good work.

It is encouraging and it feels good when you post a project and here some good feedback. Its good for moral and confidence. there is a lot of kowledge out there there in LJ land….it feels good to know there are always some good people on here to answer questions who support each other.

Thank you right back! We all enjoy your input of knowledge and inspiration. Keep up the great work!

-- $tudie

Jim, stay with it brother…you are a constant positive encouraging influence on me, and Im sure others as well. Speaking from someone who has participated in some other boards where being crappy to other posters becomes the norm, LJ’s is different and you are a big part of that and I appreciate it.

well done I say. As someone who has only just joined, I was surprised to get a welcome message from just “normal” members. Other forums I have joined have only ever welcomed me with an automated response, the LJs users did immediately make me feel welcome and that I could ask any other questions.

Thank you for your contributions.
