Congratulation Forum Member linney

[bcastner]

It is extremely rare that a Forum member of Tek-tips breaks 1,000 stars for their expert and professional advice on this site.

It is even rarer to break the 1K barrier in a single forum.

As a personal note, I joined Tek-Tips from a Google search, and was impressed by both the quality and tone of the discussions being held. And saw just absolutely on point and remarkably apt technical advice being given by users helping other users.

While I am sure it will embarass him, Forum member "linney" is an exceptional contributor to the XP Forum of this site, is a true gentleman and a scholar, and I have learned so much from his kindly contributions in this Forum that I doubt I can every repay the wisdom and kindness recieved.

Thank you, linney

And congratulations.

Best,
Bill Castner

We all know who is the real "Star" of this forum (and many others too). I wish you well as you (Bill) approach 2000 stars for your expertise in the XP Forum.

Thank you for your kind words.

Stars are of little importance in the run of things, what I find more rewarding is the friendship and sense of community that develops between forum users in this special and friendly forum.

so when are you guys going to put together a book?

:]

Auger282,

It will not happen. It is a 14 hour plane flight and a two hour drive to visit "linney".

Perhaps when I was a younger man.

I might, maybe consider helping write a book about Longhorn. I hope you all enjoy this email from 15-year old daughter as to why I should:

"Dad. I overheard you decling a book agent request to contribute to a Longhorn book. I checked on Amazon.com and the XP equivalent titles from Amazon alone sell almost 13 million copies a year. Is this a deliberate effort to avoid seeing a newspaper article describing one of my exploits as xxx heiress to the Bill Castner fortune?"

I had not thought about denying my daughter heiress status in tabloids, but I have added it to my list.

God bless "linney" and family.
I would not have noticed this site otherwise, and would have missed the opportunity to make a great friend.
