I knew I was getting close, but I hit 1000 posts and didn't even notice until I got the alert! It took me long enough; I guess I'm just not very chatty.
Congrats on hitting that milestone! It took me forever for my first 1000 posts, I was a big lurker when I first joined the site.
Congrats!! It took me forever to get to 1000 as well. Like Anne said, you just needed to get warmed up!
