That's great! Having a party together is not a bad idea!

Any idea which other threads on litnet have touched the 1000 mark?
Congrats all!

Congrats all!

Not really, but we are counting in the D.H.Lawrence thread, just by the posts and we are nearly up to another milestone - heading towards 4000 posts and in that discussion thread, we don't write a few lines; so it does count for more.

Funny I noticed the 1000 mark. I am usually oblivious with my head in the clouds. Yes, we will have a nice party on a moonbeam. What do you think, maz? ;)

PS: my last Haiku is on the previous page - 1000.

Thank you for the 'moonbeam' idea, Janine. And congrats to all for 1000 memorable posts. I wrote haikus a lot last summer and fall, but fell of the wagon, so to speak, when I got busy with school. It's nice to be back.
