I remember struggling to get to 1000 posts when Dan announce the Patch he made up to celebrate getting to 300,000th posts.

Now that was nice of him. All it cost us was a self addressed stamped envelope for him to mail it to us in. He foot the bill for everything else. IF you had 3000 posts you got a Gold colored patch, under 3k but over 1k you got a silver one.

You don't think he's waiting on 750K to release the FDM do you?

Haha, NO. I figure he either ran up against a snag (trying to get it to the price he wants) or he is just overly busy right now. Actually both probably apply.

Is he ever not busy?

Not to often I would suspect. Far as I know he hasn't taken vacation time to much in the last few years.

That's not good. Hate to see him burn out.

I agree! But he has extremely high work ethics and wants to provide what his "Extended Family" wants. And THAT is almost an unbearable strain I would think. One person crying for this, another person crying for that, the other person wanting "One just like that, but can you make this change to it". I'm surprised he hasn't told us to stop our whining and we'll get it when we get it, that he is trying to make it as close to what we want as possible.

He is a truly great Dog!

Yes he is, that is why he is so successful and has such a loyal following.

And why my bank account is suffering.

Haha, that makes two of us! But it is a happy suffering.
