Randy:

Congratulations.

You're now the member with the largest number of posts on the world largest reef/marine aquarium board.

BTW many of your posts are worth a lot and makes them even more valuable.

Honestly I had expected that the 20,000th post would answer some question marks you still had in your very first post on RC about heavy metals and silicate in food grade quick lime.

But I feel delighted that it was in a thread I started.

Keep up the good work. I know that people not only in North and South America but also in many European and Asian countries do talk about you and your posts and articles in a very positive way.

The real question is, do you feel 3.2694 times smarter then Nanook?
Congrats and thank you for all that you have done for the hobby.

I feel at least 3.2694 times less smarter than Randy, but I am sure it is a lot more than that.

Nanook,

There is some hope if the rumor I heard is true.

The rumor is that the current VBulletin software can't handel post counts higher than 21,000. It then resets to zero.

Something similar to the Y2K problems.

But will it put him back to just a "registered member"?

Congratulations Randy

Congratulations, Randy. The reefkeeping hobby owes you something- so how about another newbie question regarding alkalinity?!
