We have still not decided what will be the name for the post-o-matics above 5k and Dennis is already above 9k...

This will keep Laura busy with defining the rules for "knights of NI" (above 10k)

Dennis... well... words are missing to congratulate you for your tremendous contribution on this forum so I'll make it short and simple :

thank you !

You had me scared there for a while Titou. I cecked his total and it is 9013 as of 10:59 EST 24-Nov-2006.

So he probably pass 9K about an our ago, phew.

Congratulations Dennis!

At your current rate you will be pasing the total of both Christian and myself combined. In fact you may make 10K before anyone else reaches 5K.

I salute you and nominate you to sit at the head of the table of the Knights of NI.

It was in July of this year, that we wished you on reaching 8K posts

And in 4 months, you increase your tally by 1K!

Woow Dennis! that's superhuman!

Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience

Ha ha ha!!!

I already congratulated him way before he was here.

But, I've been telling this since he got to 4000 replies - he is not an ordinary human. Let me recap what I said about two years ago:

@John Rich wrote:
(By the way, where do you find time to do your regular job?)

I was wondering the same too. After some thinking, I came up with a list of the most logical and possible answers:

He is a supernatural entity - like an angel, or he is already dead and his soul is just hanging around. He has all eternity and decided to spent a fraction of it learning and sharing about LabVIEW and stuff.

He is an evolved supercomputer - part of a highly classified experiment, Knutson is really a super program able to learn, adapt, understand and interact electronically. "They" decided to make it learn about LabVIEW to see it interacting with other technically-oriented humans. It will continue until is deactivated, enough evidence is collected so that it is vastly superior to humans, or rewrite itself completely in LabVIEW (including the operating system)

He is a multimillionaire person - Like Batman (Bruce Wayne), he has enough money and time to to whatever he wants. He is always in his KnutsonCave with his supercomputer and all the neat NI products around doing testings and answering questions.

He is on a bet - somebody told him "if you answer 100,000 questions in 7 years and keep an excellent average, you wil win 100,000,000 dollars. Other people where in that bet (Gorka Larrea, labviewguru... remember?) but they already resigned and he is the only one in the bet. (of course, he knows for sure he will get the money if he finish)

He is a superhero - he feels all this G power running through his veins and feel this obligation that he must give back his gift to the world. If there is a day where he believe he can't continue by himself, he will create the "LabVIEW League" to create a team and tackle some of the most powerful G-problems.

He is a cyborg - similar to RoboCop, something went wrong while doing some risky experiments and, almost dying, "they" performed an experiment implanting robotic and artificial intelligence limbs and brain parts. The only human emotion left was the satisfaction of resolving problems using LabVIEW. He escaped the laboratory fortress and nobody knows where is he now, only to know that he continuosly contribute to NI forums to feel alive. (Probably like this!)

He is a collective - like the Borgs in Start Trek, or a room full of monkeys in front of computers. The most probable hypothesis of this theory is that this collective is the undisclosed fate of all former NI employees. They all answer by the name "Dennis Knutson".

He is an agent - Under the fake identity of "Dennis Knutson", "Agent K" cannot confirm or deny he is a NI employee because he is actually a NI secret agent. He continuosly participate in the forums to keep his abilities at their best until trouble strikes and he is called into action.

Congratulations!

9K - amazing.

Just yesterday I was wondering if I'll ever cross the 2K line and become a PEV. I thoght "wow - that's quite hard, maybe in a year or two", but then I see this. 1K in 4 months - easily done like eating chips in front of TV.

Honestly - since "the list" is not maintained anymore, my motivation decreased a little. Additionally my work load developed the other way, so I don't have a lot of time. Meanwhile "superdennis" is not influenced or interrupted by anything - this also leads me to the conclusion, that one of Enrique's theories must be correct. 😉

Congratulations Dennis

.... it's full of stars!

Perpetual congrats to Dennis.

These forums would only be half so useful without you, and my own sense of how much LabVIEW I understand so much larger 😉

Humbled,

What's 9k?

I know what K9 is, but not what 9k is.

I really don't understand you people.

0k, which in this case 9k is infinitely larger, 0k? Sorta like Dennis's knowledge of LabVIEW compared to mine.

Who came up with that new ugly color for that error thingamajiggy, anyways? I bet it was a guy

Nice to chat with you again, Old Grouch!

A big THANK YOU from all of us in the AE department, Dennis! Any plans to take a break when you reach 10K? Perhaps we should hire someone else in anticipation!?!

Thanks again for all your contributions - I guess by the large number of blue tags you can tell that the congrats emails are circulating around here at NI :)!
