Ladies, Gentlemen, and Undecideds:

Within the next few moments we will reach that magical number of 30,000. No one knew at the start that Mom would so prosper. Indeed, I myself felt that MOAB was but a mere flash in the pan and did not post in those giddy, heady days of the onset. But I have since learned differently, as have you all.

I shall not take the 30,000th post. I will leave it to someone else, someone less worthy that I.

I shall, however, take the 100,000th post -- dibs on it!
