Your posts are of consistant superior quality. Proving for all that sometimes brevity is essential in regards to quality posting.
"With Gazza it's always been about quality over quanity. Which is one of the reasons that the 5,000 post milestone is truly a world wide web event worth taking note of. He has taught us all a very valuable lesson. Which sadly has been lost on some other posters."-Samual L. Portnoy-Editor at large "A Posters Guide to the Internet" 1/8/05

Well 5,000 posts of full quality, knowledge, news, information, tree-making and follow up, cover-art, heads-up, snappy ironic answers, etc
How can I add? yes I know
Recently I told jb that "his quantity/quality ratio is the maximum in this forum, mathematically is infinity nobody can beat him "
In your case is near zero even that you have 5,000 posts! Because the quality is really so high that any amount divided by your quality is near zero.
Any post with your name is definitively a worth reading message... keep the good work mate, I know you don’t like adulation but you deserve it.
Now to close I want to add: Fuck you Gazza, Will ya? |

Hey Johnny O'Telecaster, let me tell you that Gazza is British not Irish as Northern Ireland is part of the UK... well I have doubt as is not part of the Great Britain as this includes the countries of England, Scotland, and Wales only...
But defintively Northern Ireland is not Irish, so how can we name Gazza: Northern Irish or British?

Well since this is a mathematical formula, it begs the question as to how does one assign a "quality qualifying" number to a post????
(btw Congrats Gazza. I envy your grasp of "the facts")

There is often confusion about Holland and the Netherlands. Some people call the Netherlands, Holland, but it is not the same. Holland is only a small part of the Netherlands
"North-Holland" (Capital city is Haarlem) and "South-Holland" (Capital city is The Hague).
Holland used to be an independent country. It had a "Count", its own coinage (until the 19th century!), its own measuring units and time - but it gave up that independence in the 16th century, when it allied with the Northern and Southern Netherlands against the armies of the King of Spain whom at the time was officially the "Count of Holland" and ruled over this whole area.
The main reasons for war were religious differences, disputes over taxes and the fact that when some cities wanted to break free, the King's army was quite brutal to civilians.
Eventually the Southern Netherlands gave up the fight and stayed occupied by foreign forces until 1830. That area is now called Belgium. The Northern Netherlands fought on and won. Then, along with the counties of (Holland, Drente, Groningen, Friesland, Gelderland, Zeeland and Utrecht) became a free Republic, including the occupied regions of Brabant and Limburg.
All these counties (called provinces today, together with some new ones) are now called "The Kingdom of the Netherlands."
Today the province of Limburg still has a Governor and to say to someone from Limburg or Friesland that he or she is from Holland, is considered an insult. They are not! They consider themselves to be from the Netherlands. They even have their own language.
People from other Provinces (except North and South Holland) will perhaps not consider it a real insult, but still they are not from Holland.
In summary, Holland gave up it's independence a very long time ago, so calling the Netherlands "Holland", is like calling Great Britain "England.
Is that clear my dear Pieter van Telecaster? |

Just remember if you're looking at the famous artist's paintings, his name is pronounced Van Goque not Van Go. They seem very touchy about that. |
