I wanted to spend this - my 10,000th post - on some thoughts I want to share with all of you.

When Hypography started out back in 1999 (before it was even launched), the idea was to create a portal with links to interesting science sites. The name "hypography" came to me in...

...
Most importantly, though, we have a large number of active members. It is thanks to your contributions that this site has survived through 7 years. The fantastic dedication many of you show for our site, and the obvious passion many of you have for science, learning, and (not least) sharing, is simply stunning. We have become an international community with members from just about every contintent (I am not sure about Antarctica, although I remember one member who used it as his location). ...

So, dear friends, I hope 2007 will be a great year for our wonderful community. I want to say a thorough thank you to everyone who is contributing - in any way - to Hypography. You are important people to me, and rest assured that you are important to a lot of other people, as well.
Checking in Chief on account of your round number well spent. I won't bother converting that ten-thousand to a base not so round, but rather say takk!, for allowing us all to have such free play in your fields. Please excuse my absence for a bit as I am off gathering new seeds.

I am clever enough to have produced two daughters too. (The only way for a Dad to go!)
The fist 5 years were a blur of work.
More time came when they went to school
Now they are taking flight and their own careers occupy them.
I spent a lot of time with my kids but still could have spent more.
Jobs, for males especially, become such an all-encompassing ego thing.
Make your kids number one, hypography last. It seems to be evolving on its own whatever you do?!

Thankyou for starting such an interesting community.

I want to be The Idiot Member Who Hits 2,000 Posts in the Shortest Time Type Person..

( I could have writen a book or two!
Note to self:- Get a life)

Can I take over the Welcoming committee?

Let's say...it's one of the goals for the new Hypography 2.0 that we are working on - to make the site less dependent on any single person.

Thanks all for your encouraging and positive replies. I am triple busy these days, with my work, my masters studies, and my kids...and then Hypography on top.

Re: A big thanks!

If I stayed active for a couple of years now (sometimes more and sometimes less present) there is a reason...do I have to spell it out?
I found this site searching for "popular science", got stuck in the philosophy and religion threads and am now a bit spread out on all the forums...just because everywhere something interesting is to be found...as you said extending horizons.
Thank you very much,
Sandro

I am honored and privileged to be a member of your growing fan club, appreciation circle, and hip-hoorah team. What a wonderful "tree house" you have built in this online Sequoia. We can see forever. Thanks.
