I daresay if I were to read the whole 500 I would be lucky to find more than a handful that were of any consequence, but that's OK. Cool thing about this place is most people don't seem to care how much crap you post as long as you keep the personal insults to yourself.
I must admit that 500 posts ago, it was curiosity more than anything that got me in here: A mate who no longer posts (I think he made about four) told me about it and I wondered how a dedicated pick-up joint website could survive. Of course, he didn't tell me about the Cafe because he never came in here. I've had such a good time posting and reading in the Cafe, I've almost completely forgotten about the meet up and ad sections and hardly ever go there, and the people I've met and got to know through the Cafe so far have been marvellous with no exceptions. I never thought I'd ever see myself saying this, but even people I haven't actually met in real life but just got to know online in SH seem more real to me than some people I know "out there", and I have come to regard many of you as genuine friends. Those of you that I have met have all been wonderful, and those I've yet to meet are a source of pleasant anticipation (mostly
).I don't feel like part of the furniture yet, so I'm still pleasantly surprised by the way I'm treated as if I am and I hope I never get complacent about that.
So for my half-millenium I really want to say to you all, thanks for making me welcome and treating me like one of your own. You're the best!
Love and best wishes to all.
