I wouldn't usually post threads like this, but I think it's worth congratulating Ionut on breaking the 3,000 post barrier:

http://blogoscoped.com/forum/posts-by-Ionut+Alex.+Chitu.html

Every single one of Ionut's forum posts contains worthwhile, well-phrased, thought-provoking comments that help to make Google Blogoscoped forum the excellent discussion forum that it is.

Let's have a round of applause... :-)

Well done, Ionut!

*Applauds Laudly and with passion*

Well Done Ionut, We love you!

Congratulations Ionut!

~2,999 posts

James, that top members page is cached and updated daily.

His profile page says this:

<< The latest 100 of all 3,002 posts by Ionut Alex. Chitu: >>

Congrats.

is there any code change necessary for blogoscoped code to withstand more posts(meaning exceeding limits,overflow)

Congratulations and thanks for your time!
Writing well-phrased posts mentioned by Tony takes more time to, it's worth of mentioning.
Putting comments to this forum is taken from our families. But they understand it.
  
I have only 327 posts now ;-)

Well Done Ionut, I enjoy reading your blog and forum posts – keep it up :D

Nice milestone, Ionut – congrats! I'm looking forward the (not so) big 1000th mark, myself.

Thanks. I'll try to post less uninteresting things.

Congratulations Ionut!

I remember Philipp told Ionut and i we'll get a surprise when we'll hit the 2000 post barrier. But maybe he was saving it for the 3000 barrier?

Philipp? ;)

Well done Ionut!

In the top 5, there are 3 people who don't have English as mother thongue... + Philipp ;)

And in the top 6 theres 4.

English isn't your mother thongue James?

No...? Don't you know where I'm from?

Tullamore! So you speak either Tullamorian or Irish Gaelic ^^

I speak Japanese (Though I'm loosing it)
then english
then Irish (Gaelige)
and I'm learning french

So, natural English speakers are a minority here ;-)

Neat. Congrats Ionut. And thanks for providing a blog I check daily called Google Operating System :)

(David, let me send you an email on the surprise tomorrow!)

Yes, they are a minority here! Including this man.

So what was the surprise Philipp? The ability to co-author a chapter in your next book?
