V,

if that said 10,000 when you posted this thread, wouldn't that make this the 10,001st thread???

Before I posted the number was 9,999. When I posted it was 10,000. By the time the question about where did it come from came up the thread total had risen to 10,002. Interestingly, when the cursor is hovered over the threadname in the forum list, it's thread number (t=10677) seems to be 10,677. Which is why I asked what happened to the other 677 threads? Deleted somehow? Clearly the two numbers track different facts about a given thread, even though they both reference the idea of threadnumber.

I *am* the master.
