Probably means I have too much time on my hands.At times I wonder why an old crusty dude like myself is hanging out in a place like this.Here???s why???..Thanks to all of you who respond to my sometimes ridiculous price checksThanks to folks like O-Dub, Stacks, DrWu, 16Corners, Rootless, JP, etc, etc for their thoughtful and informative posts on social and personal issues.Thanks to Ed Powers, GP, Phill, KK, Batmon, Motown, Yuichi, GV etc., etc for dropping sports opinions and knowledge nuggets.Thanks to Kris, SOI, Karlophone, Fishfunk, Frank, Moark, etc, etc, for your finds posts that assure me there is still stuff out there in the wild.Thanks to Pickwick, SOI, Hook-Up, SoulMarcosa, etc, etc. for sharing your infinite record knowledge.Thanks to DB, Fatback, JLR, Gary, Einstein, etc. etc. for making me laugh and lightening up some dark days.Thanks to DJSheep and everyone else who documents their travels in photo so I can live vicariously through you.Thanks to SS for introducing me to some fine folks IRL that have become good friends.Thanks to you left wing loons who remind me where I once was and why I???m not there today.Thanks to Raj for making this all possible.I know I've left some folks out but there are just too many to mention.Not sure if I???ll reach 20K but the first 10 have been enjoyable.Thanks Soulstrut.

    When the Fatback baby boom revolution comes, you'll be way at the back of the line of folks getting put to the wall.

    Still need to buy you a beer, R***! One of these days I'll make it to Texas. I swear.

    We don't always see eye to eye, but you are real (serious) people. Hope you stick around for another 10K.

    I for sure am glad you showed up and stuck around. Thanks for all the knowledge dropped, and I always look forward to checking out your finds. You pick up a lot of records I wouldn't look twice at, but now I might ;-)
    Hope you make it to WFMU this year, we'll do it up proper.

    I could be wrong, but I think you're the only one who hasn't changed your avatar in 10,000 poasts.

    I remember when you registered & racked up more posts in a few days than i'd manage to do in several months.

    Ive got 300 posts from 4 years active duty so I think it would take me over a decade to reach 10k lol.

    Here's to another 10K.

    Seriously, I love your posts (most, anyway) and love the fact that your not afraid to take your own stance, unpopular or not. I don't always agree, but I don't always agree with my friends. That's what makes them interesting.

    Hoping my football schedule brings me out Dallas way, and we can meet up.

    I'm glad you keep posting on here and that I've gotten to know you a little in the real world. Thanks for sharing your finds and keeping all of the little dudes in line.

    Yo Rich, you are definitely one of the stand up guys on here, all the best from down here in NZ & hopefully I'll make it back to Texas sometime sooner rather than later.

    Hey Rock,

    Congratulations on 10K man!!! You're a major presence here on the 'Strut and it's a better place because of it. I hope to meet you in the "real world" someday, get some dranks, and shoot the shit about records. I look forward to your next 10,000 posts.

    Peace,

    Big Stacks from Kakalak

    Did you notice you were the ONLY person I mentioned twice.

    Doesn't matter what I do, you find a reason to bitch about it.

    Is it possible you're really my Mother-In-Law incognito?

    I gotta play my role!

    While I don't often see eye to eye with Rock on political/economic issues, I have grown to appreciate him over the past few years, mostly for his deep love of the digging game. Decades after he got into collecting, he's still taking "digging" vacations. I admire his joy at finding something new and his generosity in sharing that with the soul strut community. And though I have never had a chance to meet Rich, I can see from his ARC posts that he is down for the people. Always arranging get togethers to "burn one down" and share some record knowledge. May we all learn from his example.
