I voted 300 because i think thats plenty. Like other folks on here have said there are alot of dogs that have been here for a long time without posting alot, as a matter of fact there are quit a few whom have even been around longer than alot of JYDs. If someone wants a patch,whether buying it or earning it with posts, then they deserve it because obviousely they would be wearing it with pride or they wouldnt even bother tring to get one. So i say even if its a 10 posts or 100 posts requirement that shows that they are a proud member of the yard and deserve to wear that patch proudly <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
