And don't forget: Congratulations to Pilgrim72!

Not your cup of tea
Some random trivia for Andrew about 20,000.
A kilogram of Uranium is equivalent to 20000 tons of TNT
Humans can hear sounds with frequencies between 20 and 20000 Hz
Picasso created more than 20000 works of art during his lifetime
You need about 500 full-sized trees to absorb the carbon dioxide produced by a typical car driven 20,000 km/year
The number of students appearing for the science stream [in India] has increased by more than 20,000 from the 58,314 compared to last year [2007].
The Beast from 20000 Fathoms is a 1953 science fiction film directed by Eugène Lourié and stars Paul Christian & Paula Raymond.
In 1715, John Harrison collected a reward of 20,000 pounds for developing a clock that could determine longitude to within half a degree (sixty miles).
The title [of 20,000 Leagues under the sea] refers to the distance travelled under the sea, not to the depth, as 20,000 leagues is 20 times the radius of the earth. The greatest depth mentioned in the book is 4 leagues.
Congratulations Andrew! You are highly respected here too.

Congratulations, Andrew!
I respect anyone who can post as many posts in a month as it took me 2 years to accumulate!
PS. I find it nearly incredible that as of the time I post this, your count is 20,000 "right on the nose."

Two things. For the most famous psalm singer from fiction, how about David Gamut from Last of the Mohicans?
Also, I don't want to burst anyone's bubble but I simply must tell what I know and let the chips fall where they may.
I have had the privilege of visiting Andrew's home and seeing his vast book collection (he should have his own librarian to manage it), when I saw something that shocked me. I gasped. My eyes nearly bulged out of my sockets. In addition, to his many books, on theology, Presbyterian history and especially the Westminster Confession, I saw books written by Tom Clancy and John Grisham.
As we all know Clancy and Grisham are nothing but HYMN-SINGING ARMINIANS!
I rest my case.

That's because the board is only equipped to handle 20k posts per person. At 20,001 all posts disappear into cyberspace. It's the whole P20K thing. Don't do it Andrew!

Many thanks to everyone for your kind words. I'll buy a round of drinks for everyone in the Puritan Pub after 5 pm today (ice tea or soda for those who prefer something cold and non-alcoholic).
Diane -- Shh! Don't tell folks about how I used recycle Clancy/Grisham book covers to protect my older more valuable Puritan works.
I've learned a few things over the years here. Humility is so important when interacting with others. I've really improved in that area; in fact, I've become SOOO humble that...wait, wait,...back to square one, I think.
Actually, the proverb of Solomon is true, "In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise (Prov. 10.19)." With 20K posts I am sure I have proved this to be true.
Iain Murray recounts the story of John Murray:
I have had a few retractions, a few blunders, a few toes that I have stepped on, as well as lots of superfluous smileys (pilgrims, books, ditto, amen, lol, et al.), more than a few copy and pastes, links, video clips and obscure church history posts.
If this is a milestone, it is one that represents a journey where I've been sharpened like iron because no man is an island. The PB community has been a blessing to me, and I am grateful for my time here, having learned many things about myself and others, and realizing that the more you learn, the more you learn that you have more to learn.
Please don't forget about the 2008 Puritan Reading Challenge, the PB search feature, church history anniversaries, and above all how important it is to study the peace of the church, speak the truth in love and promote harmony.
If you don't see me around for a while, don't worry, everything is ok. I am just watching the wheels. I was trying to think of something wise and profound to say here. One would think that it would come easy after reaching the mountaintop, so to speak. I spent a lot of time perusing the archives for old threads, old posts, reviewing some good books to arrive at one central thought that I wanted to share with my brethren right now for the edification of us all. It is encapsulated in a quote by J.C. Ryle, from his sermon "Looking Unto Jesus":
Thank you my friends. I have learned much, been greatly encouraged, and rejoice in the work of the Lord in this place and in your hearts. Blessings to all!
And now, in the words, of Forrest Gump: "That's all I have to say about that."
