Shoot! I didn't even look at my post count before I started this evening, but I've been reading for a couple hours, and Im still at 732, with 3 1/2 pages to go. I stated on page 5. Might have been right up there with you.
Did you actually read all 1000 posts, or did you cheat? I never cheat (except I usually skip over half the Happy Birthday posts because they get me depressed. Gettin' old sucks!)
