For years, I've been stalking the next person above me in the post totals. One by one, the most active member post totals fell before my onslaught of silliness. Each time, it was something of a personal victory.
A few years ago, there was only one person left to pass, our glorious leader Raoul. This post will push my total post count above his.
If only El Hefe were still with us. Then he'd have still been posting, I'd have had more to reply to, and we might have even passed 10k or 11k posts together before I finally secured my spot as the #1 poster at the Saloon.
I have my victory, but under the circumstances it comes with a big large side-dish of sadness.
Raoul, I miss you.
