Sigh. Once again I blew right past a milestone post count--

even though I've been trying to watch for it for the last 200 posts!I

So this is post 25,005 for me, rather than post 25,000. If I had caught the 25,000th post, I would have tried to say something significant, but post 25,005 is just an anticlimax, so why bother.

I thought about auctioning off the post's content for charity (as if anyone actually cared I'd hit the milestone.)

But I blew past it as well.
