An interesting statistic.

[Russ]

HMM...10,000th post. A year of neffing my ass off. Seems like a lot (I need a life.). But, when compared to the Federation?s achievement of yesterday, the number is pale and weak. The Feds flushed, in one day, more than 60 times that number in RC5 blocks!

So, on the momentous occasion of post number 10k, I offer my awe-stricken and heartiest "hats off" to a momentous accomplishment! THIS is what this contest is all about. Generating the enthusiasm and excitement that our fellow mini team, (and mortal enemy, hehe), demonstrated through an extraordinary effort is what will help to make, and keep, Team AnandTech number one in the world.

It is an honor, and a privilege to occupy the same battlefield.

Russ, NCNE

Well said.

And congrats to the Federation.

 

[TheJoker]

Congrats. I know I'll never hit 10k posts. Anyone have stats on how long at my current rate of posting that it would take?

 

[Engine]

Hrmph. All this anticipation, and Russ's 10000th post is used to congratulate the Feds on their flush.

How.... classy.

 

[DanC]

Toldya so....
It was something of importance. That's Russ...

 

[mindless]

while you are tipping your hat to the feds, I am going to tip mine to you.
I could not think of a more gentlemenly (is that even a word?) way of "spending" your post.

Congrats Russ


Congrats. I know I'll never hit 10k posts. Anyone have stats on how long at my current rate of posting that it would take?

my calculations show you should hit it approximately 66666.666666666666666666666666667 days after you joined at your current rate of .15 posts/day

I'm in no way the Fed spokesman !
But I can say I'm extremely honored you spend your post #10K for this event.

I dont have much eloquence in english, so what can I say ?

We're proud of what we did, and we'll do better next time !

Thx fullheartedly Russ.

Russ,

In official and personal response, I would like to say it's an honor to not only have your 10,000th post dedicated to The Federation mini-team's flush, but also to have your overall &quot;Champion Spirit&quot; on both TeAm Anandtech and here in the Forums. On this momentous 10,000 post occasion, I would like to also give you the &quot;Federation Medal of Honor&quot; and make you an honorary Captain (no authority though ) for the accomplishments that you have brought to Anandtech.

Live long and post-pher...er....prospher!

Take care my friend...

Robert (Engineer)

Congratulations, Russ! You are truly a remarkable teammate.

By the way, ladies, gents, cows, aliens and radioactive-waste barrels: Russ has some darn good RAM prices at the moment... ; ) CompuCheap

I have been waiting all day to congratulate you as the first DPC member but Mr_A beat me to it. Nevertheless i mean it when i say:


Russ, you are one of a kind(actually two of a kind if you consider DanC, but you are both Borg, so what the difference)
May the next 10.000 posts come in the same funny/respectfull/motivating way as the first 10k

With respect

Jolly

 

[DanC]

<< two of a kind if you consider DanC, but you are both Borg >>


LMAO!!!! Please - I am not worthy to be considered in the same league with Russ.
He's tops. Remember... &quot;There can only be one&quot; - Russ - is &quot;One&quot;

 

[nickdakick]

I don't know what to say...
Congrats from across the big pond...
/me speechless
Proud to be in your team.

 

[thebestMAX]

He STILL didnt mention me!!

Congrats, Russ, on a truely meaningless accomplishment.

 

[JollyP]

Sorry Dan, don't get me wrong, Russ deserves this spotlight, but i just mentioned your name because the two of you got things goiing when things got tough for TA, so no disrespect to Russ, just a wellmeaned:


Russ, CONGRATULATIONS


P.S.
