you are a patient, helpful person (even when outside lights are left on!)

No one would be that STUPID AND SELFISH - oh, hang on …..👀

Congrats John and thanks for the advice provided to me over the last 2 and 1/2 years!

Many congratulations John, your truly prolific but always worthwhile and measured content is unlikely ever to be matched, let alone beaten!👍

As a pointless exercise for my own amusement, I worked out that, at my average level of posting per year over my 12 years of membership, it would take me 128 years just to get to John's 50k posts milestone..

Perhaps one of Johns' greatest achievements is also his resolute refusal to get drawn into the silly "Handles" debates that erupt on here every so often!!😂

Sincere thanks and congratulations, John - here's to the next 50k!

Many thanks for your contributions over the years John.

I always value your input, and enjoy reading your posts.

Here's to the next 50000 🙂🔭

50k posts, blimey, @John, you need to get out more 😉
Nice milestone.

Congratulations John who's invaluable knowledge has helped me quite a few times and no doubt nearly every member on SGL. 

Well done here is to the next 50000.

Thanks so much folks - much appreciated as is this forum and all the people behind the scenes who make it happen

I actually made 50K post in my planetary observing thread last night which, as a visual observer, seemed very fitting. Ganymede and Europa performed their little intimate dance to mark the occasion

There is one thing that has contributed more to my enjoyment of astronomy over the past 15 years or so than all my scopes and eyepieces and that is the Stargazers Lounge and lt's membership

I'm very pleased that I found you !!!

 

 

Congratulations, that is a truly astronomical number of posts!

I would have to agree that of all the forums I have visited over  the years, SGL is by far the most friendly and helpful I have ever used.

It is hard to know how to do justice to the privilege of sharing your most excellent company on here. All I can say is that I do, and most deeply, appreciate it.

And I repeat that, twice at the very least!

Couldn't let this pass without adding my own Thanks, John!  You sharing your knowledge and experience has helped me (and of course many others) make progress in this great pastime!  👍

Being into the visual side of the hobby, John’s posts are always ones I pay attention too. Thanks for sharing such interesting, motivating, enthusiastic and knowledgable posts. Onwards to 100,000! 😃

50K! WOW congratulations on this awesome milestone, it may be a few more weeks before i get there 🤣

[Whistlin Bob]

Yeah- going to have to weigh in and agree with everyone else. Really enjoy your observing reports, and I've benefited from your knowledge and advice to others on many occasions.

SGL's equivalent to a national treasure  Many congratulations to you John, 50K posts is an amazing achievement!

Congrats on the milestone John, I'd send you a card but your wife might find that a bit weird 😂

Congrats John. Others may at some time in the future may reach 50000 posts but I can't imagine the content of their posts matching yours. Your willingness to help others is 2nd to none. Thanks.

Congratulations John! Your knowledge of Astronomy is astronomical, I always enjoy reading and learning from your posts. You were instrumental in guiding me to locate M 78 in Orion last year. You are an inspiration to us all! Thanks 👍
