Realize that the "odometer reading" on top is for the number of
threads posted, not individual replies. So just posting a lot of messages on this thread will not make anyone the "1,000,000th poster." You'd have to post the 1,000,000th
thread.
Besides, just reaching a million reply posts is no big deal. Hobbit Hole gets that in a good week.
Like Y2K, it is akin to watching the numbers on the odometer flip over.
