This is my 1000 post.

I have been a Linux user for over two years now.
Actually, I became a Linux user one week before signing up on LQ.
Back then, there was not alot of people on LQ. Now, there are thousands of users.

I only started answering people's questions around two months ago.
Before I was not too confident that my answers were correct, but now, most of them are... ... not so wrong.

My new job keeps me busy, but there is always time to answer a few Linux Questions.
Actually, I can't help myself anymore... must... answer... Linux questions.

Truly, I am a LQ Addict.

Congrats Mathieu - hopefully I won't be too far behind you.

Didn't MasterC used to do threads for the new gurus/lq addicts? Must be slacking on his duties

MasterC to my knowledge is preparing to get out of his US Services as a pharmacist and start looking for a job, moving and so on. So he might not be posting as often for a few months or so, that's if anyone is wondering why he not around that often.

Regards...

Yes, thank you for mentioning that Drew

I have been slackin a bit on the 'rest' of my usual non-linux duties. I'm doing what I can to keep up on the Moderating of the Forums and answering the questions instead lately, as my time is very limited to say the least. So the "congratulations" posts for new 1k Addicts/Gurus has slipped, as well as a lot of my participation in other non-linux threads started in General. I concentrate solely on 2 things:
Moderating
Answering unanswered questions (not necessarily solely 0 replies, but simply un-answered)
And then if I have time left after that, I stroll over here, respond a bit, and check back on the linux forums one last time, and then check out for a few hours.

Crazy days here!

You'll certainly see me return to full blast within the next 30-45 days.

Mathieu:

Congratulations! You have been an excellent assett to the LQ crew, and am glad you have stuck around for so long and given so many helpful and contributing replies. Just over a thousand to be exact Welcome to the LQ Addict crew, we have meetings every Saturday night at my house, BBQ is free, I've got a few hubs so just bring your box for the LAN party afterwards.

Uh, just kidding if anyone didn't know

Cool

Oh, that's too bad. Cause I've only got one word for that: incentive!

Ian

Well, that'd get a lot of extremely unhelpful replies, to simply post-pad and bump their count faster. But if ANYONE, not just Addicts/Guru/Mods/Root want to come over to my house for a BBQ, feel free I've got 1 hub and a DSL connection.

Cool

Thank you, especially to all the newbies for asking so many questions.

MasterC, if I am ever in the Seattle/Vancouver area, I will stop by for a BBQ.

BTW, someone will have to show me the LQ Addict crew secret hand-shake.
