This is my 20,048th post on the Mudcat. I think perhaps my favorites have been the joint fiction threads, particularly the Steamboat Albert Hansell, the Mudcat Enterprise, and the Drinking Gourd.

I shudder to realize that on an average of perhaps 2 minutes per post, I have been writing posts on the Mudcat for the equivalent of 83.5 solid days of ordinary work -- that is, 8-hour days. That doesn't include reading time. Somebody stop me before I post again!! :>))
