    Haha,
    I did post one a while back called analysis paralysis!
    Does that & 'From the Grave' make me the official AoS archivist?

    Actually, every time it's turned another thousand, I just happened to notice it, except for the one Nick pointed out to me (3k)
    I've been here literally all night working on the book list for the library, which I posted into the librarians enclave. Five minutes after I finally posted it, I see that we've turned 5,000 threads & it was very likely me who posted it the big number! So that's 2k, 3k, 4k & 5k posted by me & it was only 2k that was done consciously.
