Are you serious? At 6328, you're less than 60 posts away. You really think it'd take 24 hours to get 60 posts on here? One good run by certain members of our group (didn't somebody have 50 in like 15 minutes a few nights ago?) and we'd be there. ;)wilson wrote:This is post #6328 in LTE 2.0. The original has 12,773. I suppose we'll get to half of that over here within the next ~24 hours. When I wondered rhetorically 10-14 days ago (not sure exactly when it was), we were just short of 1/3 of the original LTE. Some serious catching up, guys.

Yes, indeed. How awful of me! Sorry about that. Dang 3-quote embedded rule. How many points do I lose, Prof?Lavabe wrote:Umm... bad quoting again. I believe I made mention of the Nikon Macro lens.
Technically, all the research types say either MOBOT or MBG. I suspect most St. Louisans will call it MoBot as well. You will also hear a lot of local people call it "Shaw's Garden."

Re: LTE 2.0
I've already scoped out some classes at CCC that I want to take. The last one was great enough to convince me that it would be a good place to take photography classes. A coworker told me that the MoBot also offers photography classes on occasion.Lavabe wrote:You really should take a class on it. Macro photography, with a class, is a lot of fun, and the images you can get can be stunning, especially with MoBot nearby. Without a class, you'll feel lost, at first, and you won't learn half the stuff you can do with your camera.ArkieDukie wrote:Can't decide if I want to get that or a zoom first. I'm seeing what I can do with my current lens before getting others. Creve Coeur Camera rents lenses, so I may take advantage of that before buying. That would give me a chance to try things out and see what I like best.

Re: LTE 2.0
Okay, okay, see, you got me PWing again. I'm done. Now that we're down to 20.
And I wanted to post a suggestion. I think the current deity of PWing (the person in the lead) should have the honor of making the milestone posts in general. Afterall, he/she would be the mayor of PW town at the time. Kind of like a ribbon cutting ceremony or presenting the keys to the city. CB&B, as our founder, should also get a few of them. So should the MODs, and Coach K, if he ever bothered to post in these threads that are beneath him. ;)

Re: LTE 2.0
Okay, fine, 20 minutes. Still, hit that keyboard, AD, and we can be there in an hour. Heck, 18 posts should be easy peasy for you.

Re: LTE 2.0
Nah, I think the big milestones should go to whomever happens to be in the right place at the right time...just like they have been.bjornolf wrote:I think the current deity of PWing (the person in the lead) should have the honor of making the milestone posts in general.

My suggestion was 99% tongue in cheek, dude.wilson wrote: Nah, I think the big milestones should go to whomever happens to be in the right place at the right time...just like they have been.
I still think we should REQUIRE DD, now that he is both MOD AND king PW, to put the king emoticon in his avatar. And that, I'm 99% serious about.

I miss EJ too. I've also been wondering what happened to Gadzooks. I was hoping she'd be around a little more.wilson wrote:BD is at a playwrights' conference. Dunno where DukePA and DevilAlumna are.Miles wrote:Where is bostondevil?

I think Donna (DukePA) was kidnapped by Ezmerrelda and her biker bitches. ;)
