Congrats sailingdog
The Dawg finally hit 20k and thought it fitting to immortalize the event by reposting his 20,000th post on SailNet.

Does seem kind of anti-climatic though. Perhaps the site Admin's redesign of the SailNet top banner recently was in SD's honor?

It's certainly a heck of a lot of typing.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

And in 20,000 post he has never agreed with anything anybody else has said.
JUST KIDDING! Maybe its around 1% of the time.
Keep 'em coming Dog.

You Dawg - deleting posts to make a poor, boatless sailor confused, huh? Well, it's not working . . . where'd I put that other boatshoe?

He's afraid to hit 20,000 because then he faces another 6 months of typing to get to 30,000.

Nah, it's just that he finally read the fine print and discovered that a surcharge kicks in at 20K posts. 
I'll bet he's preparing something special for all of us to mark the occasion!!
Drumroll please...Standing by....
