I am looking forward to claiming my prize of a pipe of port for posting this...the 10000th Topic on :tpf:
May there be many more, tastings, tasting notes, conversations and lots of meaningless drivel!

My browser seems to think your thread is topic 10565? This is the thread with ID of 10000, though as noted by Julian, several threads have been deleted, so yours might (currently) be the 10000'th thread presently existing; though I would have no idea how to check.

I'm sure there will in any case be many more, tastings, tasting notes, conversations and (certainly) lots of meaningless drivel, but don't be surprised if your pipe of port fails to materialise.

The front page says that it is topic 10k.

Hmm. Total topics 10000, total posts <10000 ?
I can understand that deletion of older posts might account for the apparent average posts per topic to be <1, but it would have to be deletion of a LOT of posts; I would have expected our average posts per topic to be much higher?

10k topics, almost 100k posts. TNs have one to three posts each; One Quiz has many more. So that is plausible.

Yet another accounting error from the unemployed counting-man.

Errors happen, I am not fervently denying. But, so far at least, I am not seeing it. Please explain.

Oops, sorry, not you, Phil. The employed counting-man; a missing zero:

And p=100000 was a tasting note of Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo CLA Moscatel.
