Well I guess I am officially family here now since I have over 1000 posts. 

Me too, but I got no kind of medal or anything. Why's that I wonder.

Congratulations both.

Sympathies about the medal. Felt the same. But apparently it only comes after the millionth post.

I did like having the word "friend" there. Instead of "alien observer", "visitor of the 3rd Rock from the Sun" (from my favorite TV show ever), etc. No just kidding about those, though the word "visitor" confused me. I was looking like had I really registered .

Thanks spacial for your kind words. Don't know where I would put a medal in my house anyway.
