... I am delighted to welcome a new member!
But why do we think "a thousand" is significant? Why are we so curiously in hock to a decimal system that we choose to give 'significance' to the figure of 'a thousand'? - I am sure our 999th member was - and our 1001st member will be - just as 'significant' - and just as welcome ! .

It's like milestones, isn't it? You have one at 10 miles, but not at 9 miles 1600 yards. Of course, every member is loved and cherished
