    1000 posts Oscar Speech

    Well, this is my 1,000th post, so I thought I'd mark this momentous occasion with a few words...

    First, I'd like to thank you all for coming here, I'm greatly honoured to be in your company.

    Secondly, I'd like to thank John, for writing vBulletin 1.0, without which, none of this would have been possible.

    I'd like to thank freddie for being a generally miserable git who always takes great pleasure in pointing out coding errors I make

    I'd like to thank Tim Berners Lee for coming up with the WWW... we'd be pretty stuck without that wouldn't we?

    Thanks are due to Me2be, who always sticks up for me when people are mean Also I must credit Infopop, for giving me a reason to want to work on writing a better forum system...

    I'd like to thank my Mother, (Hi Mum!), my sister, my girlfriend Jo (who has abandoned me to go on vacation this week...), my cat, the neighbours' cat, the bloke next door, the dustbin men, my computer, my bed (I promise to spend more time with you soon, bed), my other computer, my server farm, the spider on the window, British Telecom (not), oh, my computer upstairs, the noisy contractors outside the window...

    boo hoo hoo blub blubber (isn't that how Oscar speeches are supposed to end?)

                          Yes, I've secretly been making simple coding errors in my hacks just so people would come and report errors, thereby allowing me to ask them complex questions in return, ensuring I would have to post even more to explain!

                          Oh dear, I've said too much!

                          I was never here...I was never here...I was never here...I was never here...I was never here...I was never here...I was never here...I was never here...
