Seven years ago today I had my biopsy which started me down this path.
A month after that I joined this forum,
and today I posted my 10,000th post and my membership switched to elite.

It's been a strange ride around here and with my health, but the PC is gone and I'm getting older.

I've posted here to do my best to help, inform, support, and cheerlead a bit. I also learned a lot PC and humans in stress around these virtual walls. Been an interesting trip.

I wish you all the best in your journeys,
Peace,
Andrew

Elite, indeed! Congratulations, Andrew!

"I've posted here to do my best to help, inform, support, and cheerlead a bit." And wonderfully successful you have been in doing so! May you benefit us with another 10,000 posts!

Andrew, based on your math, it will take me a bit longer to get to 10,000. I'm right about 4 years since joining--my biopsy result anniversary was Wednesday this week, 4 years ago.

Keep on keepin' on.

Forgive me for all the deletes. I didn't want to delete so many posts, but it was necessary, to keep this thread all about the great support that an Elite member has given.

I'm not going to lock it right now, but keep it on message, so me or one of the other mods dont have to.

Andrew, i cant think of anyone who is more supportive here, than you. You are always one of the first in to welcome and calm a new member, or give support to a member facing a new crisis. It is noticed by everyone, and very much appreciated by just about everyone as well. May you be here doing your thing for many years.
Thank you.

Thanks Pratoman - I appreciate the supportive words. You and I have been here a long time and seen a lot of stuff. You're braver than I am about jumping into being a moderator. I always appreciate what you do there.

I do my best to with the new members. I don't understand the more advanced stuff that well, but remember well what it was like when I got that phone that said, "you have cancer."

and really appreciate all the positive and supportive comments. When we support and encourage each other, we make a place where every can be helped and come during difficult times.

Congrats Andrew. Always enjoy your posts. I am also a guy with a shop and I stand in awe. At my rate I have 60 more years until I join the elite.

There was a nice man on the forum
Known best for his poems and decorum
He posted away
10,000, okay
And never once wrote out of boredom
