FReepers of a certain vintage will recall that strange species of missive, the “Opus.” Periodically members would leave, but would pen an “Opus,” the lengthy explanation. I never quite understood these; they seemed a bit self-important to me.
Today is my 25th anniversary on FR. I’m not going to anywhere, so this is my “No-Pus.” Many thanks to my FRiends for this great community. Apologies if I’ve ever been unduly unkind.
As of today I have 12,777 replies, 1.4 per day on average for 25 years. When I post a stat like this, some of my FRiends will point out that they have 200,000 or 300,000 posts and replies. All I can do is promise to try harder in my next 25 years.
Salut! Your FRiend, Jhavenfarm

Congratulations, j.havenfarm! You are one of the reliably sane and courteous posters, in my experience.
You are so kind. Thank you.
And thanks all

I Opused out once or twice, but always came slinking back. Next month, this account will hit its 24 year mark.
,,, you don't need a comma between "I" and "and".
Congrats.
Enjoy your posts.
FR kinda pissed me off yesterday when they pulled an educational thread for "solicitation", and then posted a FReepathon thread.
Which is, solicitation.
I'm not posting an "opus", those are silly, but I'm not going to spend as much time here (and no money) as I have in the past.
Dang and I just did my 20...*sigh*
Congrats man. Lotta time served!
Congratulations!
Congrats! You are a great poster. I am right behind you. My 25th anniversary is tomorrow. I can’t believe how fast time flies.
shaggy eel: you don't need a comma between "I" and "and".
Wrong: One does - since neither the subject ("I" vs. "it"), nor the verb ("to do" vs. "to be"), nor the tense (Simple Past vs. Present) are shared.
Regards,
Congratulations!
