In 9000 Earth years, Walden will have about 40 million posts on Chiff. They might run out of smoking jackets and executive restroom keys to hand out to him. I hear that for a million posts you get a special surprise.

It's a tradition here on the Chiff board to celebrate round number of posts. Other boards have other traditions and rituals. There are enough nasty folks making snide comments, or engaged in flame wars, or even worse in other parts of the Internet that some harmless celebration and humor can only be to the good.

hmmm.... spoken like a true 121 poster.
Hey, when you've been around as long as some of these folks, you need things to celebrate.
