Stephen Dare. 10,000 posts.

[stephendare]

Hello everyone.  I thought I would take this post (my 10 thousandth post since we started this damn thing) to introduce myself.

I live in Springfield, and I am a libra male, in my unreconstructed 40s.

Im a writer, and a traveller, and have been studying the dynamics of what makes cities work for about 24 years now.  I travelled for 8 years in pursuit of field knowledge, and discovered a great big wonderful civilization out there.

I love books, animals, cooking, languages, history, and debate.

My favorite cities to live:  Paris France, Seattle Washington.

I was raised by a virtual tribe of mutually hostile southern women, from my Li'l Mama to my Big Mama, my mother, my paternal grandmother Mary Sue and a baker's dozen of aunts.

Im one of the original metjax/ metrojacksonville crew and this is one of my favorite projects Ive ever undertaken in my life.

My profile picture was taken of me at Oscar Wilde's grave in Pere LaChaise.  Paris.

Nice to meet everyone.

Stephen, pleasure to know you.  Happy 10,000th.  Keep up the good work.  One day you'll be famous (besides in the MJ world  )

10,000 post and not a good one yet. Just kidding this site (project) you and your crew started has been a joy to so many of us. Keep giving us all that content you provide must be a real chore and we appreciate it.

I mean really - 10,000 should qualify for a new membership milestone.  Ãœbermember..........

Stephen's 2 cents x 10,000 is a $200.00 value for free.  Can't beat that!  Better yet, per Mastercard, not taken on MJ, its "priceless"

Happy 10,000th post Stephen, but you sound like you are auditioning for a partner or something on a dating site in your initial post (but that's o.k. and cool at the same time).  My my, you have been busy, busier than any of us in this forum.  I'd be content with celebrating my 1,000th, so, YOU GO STEPHEN!

Happy 10,000 Stephen!   I can only dream...

Congrats! There should be another title, maybe superhero member.

So long as the majority of posts are well reasoned, polite and informative, 10,000 posts is a remarkable milestone.

From what I have read so far, it does seem to be the case.

Keep posting.

Additionally, am I to understand that you are among the founders of the fantastic site?

Stephen, what is your total time logged in?  That will be the true testament to your devotion to MetroJax. 

I'm at 20 days, 8 hours and 32 minutes.... and counting.

Congrats on the milestone. Thanks for many entertaining and enlightening posts.

I enjoy the titles.  I think 10,000 deserves something like Deputy Mayor.  I myself am working towards Senior Member right now.
