Paul Mabbott - 4000 posts!

I'm not normally one for celebrating post numbers as I'm more interested in quality than quantity.

However, even I can't allow the event of Paul achieving 4,000 posts to pass unnoticed - whilst I don't agree with all he says (wouldn't life be boring if we all agreed about everything ) I do respect his well-presented opinions.

He speaks authoritatively and in a common-sense manner on a wide range of topics and must surely be one of WAB's most valuable contributors.

Well done Paul - keep it up

Jeff

I agree with Jeff. On a few occasions I've disagreed with Paul, but I always look out for his posts with interest. He's a valuable and extremely knowledgeable member, and his contribution to the site has been invaluable.
Well done Paul and keep it up!

Many congratulations Paul, there's nothing I could say that hasn't already been touched upon here, but I'd definitely, happily agree with all of the above comments. A definite valuable contributor to WAB. Keep it up mate, well done.

Re: Paul Mabbott - 4000 posts!

Thanks folks. Pleased if I can help from my limited repertoire of knowledge. You're a very tolerant lot, by and large - but life would be very tedious if we didn't have our disagreements (said by someone who could start an argument in solitary confinement).

Re: Paul Mabbott - 4000 posts!

I have to agree with Jeff on this one. Paul is a valuable member because he makes you think about the subject matter in the thread he is contributing to. Thankfully he doesn't subscribe top the type of posts that have no thought behind them.

Congratulations Paul on the 4000 post milestone

John
