<h3>Oaktree and I are both turning five!!!</h3>
'twas five years ago today that I posted here for the first time. My first post was actually to answer someone's question. My second post however, was a question. I asked "what are class modules"? I am happy to say that over the course of the last five years, by virtue of participating here, reading elsewhere and reading stuff written by folks like Tushar, I have become quite comfortable with class modules.
That first day I posted three times and then lurked on and off for seven months. Looking back, I see that it took me sixteen months to get to ten posts!
The very next day, 20th of June 2002, another fellow joined the forum. This chap had a nice solid-sounding name that inspires confidence -- "Oaktree". Looks like he was rolling up his sleeves and trying his hand at a bit of VBA.
And, like myself, it seems Matt took his time getting addicted to Mr Excel for it took him twenty-six months to get his first ten posts.
But we've made up for lost time. Of the 112 people that joined the forum on the 19th & 20th of June in 2002, together he and I are leading 11,992 posts versus 2,969 posts for the combined other 110 members!
In those five years I've made some wonderful online friends. And I wish I had the time to stop by more often these days, *sigh*.
So, Mr. Van Geit, if you'll key up the piano please...
"Happy Birthday to me and Oaktree,
Happy Birthday to me and Oaktree..."
Now that we're five... kindergarten here we come!
