OK,
I've done a search (I thought there were more of us lol else I would have done it last night) and I want to personally thank....
brian c Dan dhceramics Fekin Gaz @ Topps grumpygrouter Varley
for posting 1000+ posts.
I'll also do a search for other high posters and thank them in the Arms.
I can't stress enough - you're that valuable to the forum I'd make you a brew if you popped round one day lol.
I'd clean your van out if at the weekend if you lived local.

Moved the thread to here so all members can see.

To add....
Dave is the member with the highest posts AND highest thanks as a result. It's common to see the most posts come from the owener of a forum, such as myself - but not in this case. I'm no competition for such a knowledgable guy.
Dave is yet to be corrected and his views are put to one side in many cases for hard facts! Though his views are valued by us all.
Many many tiling jobs have gone well that without his input may have gone pear shaped. I think Dave needs a special thanks once again from me and those that he's helped over the short period the forum has been online (only April 2004 and we've already taken 1st place as the busiest biggest forum in the UK - and only time is keeping us at second biggest on the planet - had to get that in lol).
Dave is a professional tiler tiling his heart out during the day and when he gets in he hits the forum and makes sure all the DIYers and Pro Newbies are doing the right stuff the right way! It's unbelievable that a guy can dedicate so much time to ceramics and stones - and he loves it.
Be sure to stick Dave on your Christmas card list at least - and take him on holiday with you if you can - he deserves a sunny break with lots of cold beer.
Thanks Dave!
For any potential customers in the Durham area; Dave is always booked up for a while so be sure to book him in early! Dave's contact details can be found
HERE if you're looking for a quote - no time wasters please!
I may aswell thank all my mods at this point too as I can't handle any more tears. Gaz, Varley, DevonR (get well doon mate), ChaseTiling (Ant/Concept PHT) and Uggy1197989891 on the plumbing forum. (I can never remember his username/code lol) - without you lot i'd be doing a lot more searching for answers myself as I certainly don't have the knowledge most of you have!!!!!
You all do me proud.
