What real achievement is made by posting 5000 times on a forum?

Are congratulations really in order?

Quite frankly I find it rather...strange.

Thanks dude. I really enjoy this board, and I have for awhile. I have other hobbies, but I still enjoy debating the airline industry. If you can't understand that, then too bad. Go read a Time Magazine.

You tell him General, don't let him spoil the fun!!

Congrats

Way to go Ol' Buddy! And thanks for including me in your Top 20 List. Wow, Number 7, not bad.....

Now, back to the debates;

What was that you were saying about Song serving all three NY airports a while back? I seem to remember you throwing jabs at JB because we only served one.

Oh well, just thought I would keep the fire going. I haven't been posting much at all lately. Too busy trying to lower my scores on the golf course!

Take care Buddy.

C yaaaa

Believe me, I really understand that you like to debate the airline industry. Some people love to argue and I'm glad there is a place like this so you can have your fun. To each their own.

I just find it strange that not only do you feel compelled to acknowledge yourself of being so active on this board, but that congratulations are in order. For what?

When one is congratulated it is for something accomplished. What have you accomplished here by posting 5000 times?

Guess I'm not going to make your list.

Congrats, General

We all should nominate you to be inducted in some sort of hall of fame like flightinfo.com whore.
It also looks like you got more postings on here then I do flight hours. Just try not to get typers cramp.

In some ways I was making fun of myself. I don't need the "congrats" from everyone. I was amazed myself that I hit a mark like that. But, I do enjoy this forum and I actually do get laid quite often.

I couldn't forget my favorite Jetblue debating partner. As far as EWR, yes, you guys will now serve all three (although our mainline still does---but not Song). And, YOU CAN HAVE IT. EWR is a pain, and it has taken me awhile to acknowledge it. So is LGA, but it is actually fun to do some of those approaches. Keep having fun on that golf course---ATL has been soaked. 22 out of the 31 days in July were soakers. I would have to get up super early to golf in ATL, and I already do that for my San Juan turns. Take care.

I missed making fun of yourself. The weakness of this form of communication. I can appreciate that.

Getting laid often! Now thats something to be congratulated for.

Congratulations!!!

I will look into an avatar. I am trying to make myself as mysterious as possible. And, I think Dave Griffen took the General Lee Car photo.


Bye Bye--General Lee

Congtatulations GL. Your posts have always been opinionated, entertaining and contain a gratifying amount of self-satire. (Even if you are a union hack and don't give a rat's as* about the junior guys at Delta.)

I don't know how I made your top ten list, with all of 280 posts to my credit.

I'll give you back the GL car photo for your avatar in exchange for 1,000 posts.

Let's do the math. 5,000 posts. A conservative estimate, 5 minutes to compose and edit a post. That equals 416.6 hours. At 600 mph, you could have circled the globe over 9 times. If you take the more realistic 10 minutes per post, that time doubles to 833.2 hours. 34 days of his life he will never get back.

10 minutes per post.... Dude, are you reading with one eye and tying with 1 finger??

 

[Jetjockey]

I suppose 10 minutes is probably high. I was including the time to put some thought into a response before posting it. That's what I was getting at. Anyway you figure it, 5000 posts is insane.

 

[flyfastinmy10]

General,

I am a kool aid drinking FNG. I enjoy your posts. I don't always agree with you but you are entertaining. Keep up the good work!!

Yea, but we're talking about the General here... Do you really think he puts any thought into a response??


Just joking with you GL..

 

[Publishers]

Thinking Com'on this is aviation gossip not writing.

 

[Heavy Set]

Wow - I made the list too. I always enjoy GL's commentary - regardless of whether it is spot on or slightly inflamatory...

I usually zero in on anything Comair, Jetblue, Airtran, or DL ralated. I try to comment on each one, giving my wonderfully accurate insight on each. Then I usually edit after I get slammed. I have done 20 responses in 20 minutes before. Then, I go out, ride my bike, lift weights, make love to the wife (dripping with smelly sweat), then lift weights again (I look so good), and then do 20 more posts.
