Congratulations Ben, Knight of NI!

Who would have guessed that 1 post would lead to 10,000 back on February 1, 2001 (which happens to coincide with my LV start date!). Thank you for the nuggets, posts, tags... and humor, always accompanied by technical excellence!

Congratulations Ben!

I always enjoy reading your posts and always learn something from them.

I would bet that your Action Engine nugget as become the most linked to post on the forum. I know I've directed people to it numerous times. (And there is one more link for good measure.)

Ben has only one flaw, and it is that he is a Steelers Fan.

Hurray! We have one more Knight in our ranks!

Thank you so much for your contributions to this forum Ben. Especially some of your nuggets (Action Engines, References, ...) make a really great reading and learning experience!

Congratulations Sir Champion Ben. Welcome to knighthood!

Your contributions to the forums cannot be expressed by a simple post count, so the "10000" only scratches the surface. Your tireless efforts, even behind the scenes, truly made this site what it is today. You are involved in all aspects, from hardcore programming and fantastic nuggets, to site mechanics, site bugs, and site policies ....

Thanks for making the forum a better place! The new recognitions is well deserved and long overdue! 🙂

Your positive, helpful, and patient contributions often have a calming affect on a discussion which might otherwise degenerate, keeping it constructive and fruitful - to the benefit of all who use the forums and therefore reap the benefits of your wisdom and guidance.

Best Wishes!

Thanks Ben!

I know I've personally benefited from more than one of your posts here....probably going back some time.

Solid forums are meaningless without solid contributors.
