smokey,
We are just making the rounds on all the milestone clubs, congratulating folks today, and we have finally worked our way to the heights of 1100 posts, which you accomplished today.
Let us offer you a hand to steady you until you are over the dizzies (or maybe you're better by now :lol: ).
It's been a total blast hangin' out here with you, looking forward to many more years together 
!
Chester 
and the Mrs.

Hi
I think this is my 1500th post thanks to you all for putting up with me for the last two years. I think of many of you as my friends.
Regards

Looking forward to continuing on the trail with you,
Chester and the Mrs.
Hondo,
Many
1900 posts!.
We've been gone all day, and it was great to sign on tonight and see that you made it to this most recent milestone.
Looking forward to being together at 2000!!
Chester and the Mrs.
Thanks, you guys and gals, for the congrats! Without you, none of this would be possible, or as fun as it is :lol: .
Chester and the Mrs.
Hey, look at us, we're Laurel and Hardy!
OK, OK, we're not Laurel and Hardy - it's just Chester and the Mrs. !
(Hondo, remember, imitation is the highest form of flattery 
. )
So . . . here we are, at post 1900. The board has been so busy lately, the last hundred posts went quickly, and I suspect that will be the same for several others.
You are all terrific, and it is a real pleasure to hang out around here with y'all.
Everybody - keep up the good work!
Chester and the Mrs.
Hondo,
We'd like be the first to congratulate you on reaching 1800 posts!
Since we want to be first, we're not going to spend a bunch of time "decorating" our congrats, we're just going to get it posted .
Chester and the Mrs.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Now that you've reached the "rarified air" of the 1000+ post club, we don't expect that we'll hear any more snide remarks, oh elevated one 
.
All kidding aside, smokey, we 
you and are so happy to have come to know you over the past two years, and it is our hope that we may all meet face to face someday (that includes Alec, too 
.
Fondest regards,
Chester and the Mrs.
1400 posts!!
It seems like a bunch of folks are reaching milestones at the same time around here - this joint is jumpin' !

Oh, smokey, we have a TV alright - in fact, I just watched The Man from Snowy River tonight - what a GREAT movie! Kind of makes us want to move to Australia .
Thanks, everybody! Of course you realize we couldn't do it without all of you .
And Chilibill . . . that was one of the best calls I ever made. Having you around here is the cheese and onions on a really great bowl of John Wayne chili (that's "cowboy-ese" for "icing on the cake")!
Chester and the Mrs.
Here we are at post #1800.
:lol:
Chester and the Mrs.
Robbie,
We'd like to be the first to congratulate you on reaching
1200 posts!
I guess even you didn't realize it, as you didn't post here :o
Anyway, keep up the great work, keeping us on our toes around here at the ol' John Wayne Message Board, and perpetuating the memory of John Wayne world wide.
Chester and the Mrs.
Hondo,
Many, many 1700 posts!</span>
It's been a great experience, and we've really enjoyed hanging out here with you (and the many others, too, of course) and appreciate all your effort - things like the Top 25 John Wayne Movies and some of the other great discussions you've initiated. We look forward to many more posts to come.
Chester and the Mrs.
Arthur,
A hearty congratulations to you on 1300 posts!
We, too, appreciate all your hard work and have also enjoyed your new feature "On this day."
itdo, your sensory system was operating, just not quite correctly. I was making a sad commentary on the sad state of the USD compared to the Euro. In the past it's always been "those %#@+ rich Americans." Now it's turned around the other way. Not to imply that you (or any of our other European cousins) are %#@+ anything or in any way responsible for the sad state of the American dollar - we Americans will have to take credit for that ourselves. 
Chester and the Mrs.

Chester, I hope I don't come across as some rich bastard, buying all these books - because I really am not, quite the contrary (I just spend every nickel on Wayne, that's all).[snapback]16346[/snapback]
itdo,
NOT at all! With my life as full as it is right now, I would never have the time to read all those books. I can relax with a DVD, and they take up less space in my already very full house. And if I need to know something, at least I can learn a little here (and possibly even be inspired to buy a book or two that really piques my interest).
Chester
itdo,
We're a little late getting in here, to congratulate you on
1000 posts</span>
but it is with great pleasure that we do so!
You are the real backbone of the Definitive JW books thread, thanks for adding to that so consistently - if only we had the <span style=\'color:green\'>$$$ to buy all the books you've shared . We also appreciate your learned contributions to so many of the topics.
Looking forward to the next thousand,
Chester and the Mrs.
Hondo,
What can I say . . . ? We were flying through real quick this morning, before heading out to church, and not really paying attention to the numbers - oh, well . . . .
Thanks for the congrats, but more importantly, thanks for being such a great buddy on such a great message board! It's been a blast!
Fondly,
Chester and the Mrs.
Arthur,
<span style=\'color:green\'>1200 posts!
We are really enjoying your new feature, On This Day, and look forward to many more from you!
Chester and the Mrs.
Hondo,
Many, many
1600 posts!!
We know you were busy this weekend, we just kept waiting for you to come back and get to this latest milestone. Thanks for all your hard work on things like the Top 25 list for the message board, and the many interesting topics you bring to us.
Chester and the Mrs.
Well, we must say, this kind of crept up on us - a little here, a little there, and before you know it, another hundred posts under the belt . . . 
here we are at "Sweet 1600" posts. Who'da thunk it?
It has been, as always, a fun trip.
Regards to all!
Chester and the Mrs.
CONGRATULATIONS!
We can really identify with your "addiction" - do you think there is an online JWMB Anonymous group 
?
