Not very long after I stumbled across this marvellous forum, we passed a milestone, as I saw it then, of 200 registered users. Now I see we are about to hit 2000. How should we celebrate this? Should we even deign to notice it? My earlier reference to what I saw then as a significant stage in our development produced but a deafening silence. Is this to be my fate yet again, as the harbinger of notable events? Ah well, I can but try, and don't look to me for any psrty tricks, either. My stock of Cardhu is seriously depleted. (I refer to another thread where folk are currently defining their preferences in certain malt products.)

Re the above ...

For "pstry" read "pastry", "pasty", "party" or whatever. I don't much mind. The wine is in, the wit is out ... Mr Penfold, you have a lot to answer for! And alas, no, it wasn't.

So long as you don't try sating it with a mouthfull of Cardhu - it would spoil both!

Remind me to tell you about my trip to the Cardhu distillery, sometime: aaaaaaaaaaaah !!

Well done Lusy for spotting the MM. Are we allowed to celebrate now or do we have wait until MM + 1?!

lusy, my Darling--obviously the other milestone slipped past us unawares. Thank you for trying again, Lovely One.
What do you suggest, then, Sweetheart? I thought at first you were inviting us to your house for a party, but then saw that you are out of Cardhu (whatever that is). Got
any ideas? We could bring our own bottles, I suppose, to
wherever.

I saw your post about a prize for the 2000th subscriber.
Good idea! Gee--maybe they could receive a free subscription to AWAD!

But do we celebrate the bi-millennium when we hit 2000 or 2001? Oops. This sounds like another thread we had here!

Ted grins and ducks, but feels a WHACK to the back of his head anyway

Well, that'll teach me to read all the way through before I post. Sorry, Jo.

::rolling eyes:: with only about 2% of that number posting I guess we won't need a large venue...

jo asks: Are we allowed to celebrate now or do we have wait until MM + 1?!

[sighing patiently emoticon] When the 2000th user registers we will have 2000 registered users*. If we were counting years we would have to wait for the 2000th year to be over before we could say that 2000 years had passed since...

*We have to wait for the 2000th user to finish registering before we count that lucky individual.
