i've posted 2,000 times on here since a year ago. in that time, i feel i've changed from a new mac owner in need of help, to a helper of new mac owners. i help far more than i need help now, and that is all down to this site. it is by far the most helpful set-up and bunch of people i've encountered on the net. everyone is so mature on here to rise above name calling and flaming (for the most part :P), the mods are reasoned and level headed, as well as knowing their shit, and basically, nothing 'apple' ever slips through the net.

how would you rate my perfomance?

I'm still pretty new to these forums, but from what I have seen, I'd say that your doing a great job. Keep it up!
I've noticed that there is a small group of people who you know will have a good solution to just about any problem that pops up in this forum. You are one of them.

I've been using Macs for the better part of my life. I considered myself an expert even before I came here, which was not long after you joined. And you always struck me as pretty knowledgable. You caught on quick for a switcher.

Wow. That was in only a year? I think you post too much and violate board rules with the creation of this thread. :P ... No... Congrats! It feels like you've been around much longer, and you're right: You've definitely made that way from Mac newbie to helpful-to-newbies-member. More than that, I'd say. Just don't let it get to your head.
