Congratulations to Accumulator: 30,000 Posts (and Counting)

**Lonnie** · 07-12-2011, 09:40 AM

While Major League Baseball is touting Yankee`s shortstop Derek Jetter for his 3,000th Major League hit, we Autopians have our own Super-poster in Accumulator.

I am sure we ALL have benefited in some way from his many comments. There are few "detailing experts" who are willing to take the time to type out their experience and know-how like THE Accumulator (Since he hales from Ohio, I think "THE" is appropiate).

If you are wondering how he does it, I have my own "theory":

1) He is the world`s fastest talker (Kinda like those voice-over guys on the radio who quickly give all the legal terms at the end of commercials)

2) He has "hacked" Dragon-Speaks software to keep up with his voice words.

3) He can type with his toes and has two computers going at same time; one for his voice and one for his toes to respond to all the threads he looks at.

4) He is the world`s fastest keyboarder, typing 200 word per minute (with one hand!)

All kidding aside, Congratulations Accumulator and "Thank You" for your posts. I am honored, as I am sure other are, to be able to read them here on the Autopia forum. Keep it going.

Gigantic congrats to the man who introduced all of us to the foam gun washing technique and who forever changed my way of washing my cars.

Accumulator absolutely lives up to his name and is definitely Autopia`s Most Interesting Man in the (Detailing) World!

I *will* stay marring free, my friend-- thanks to you!

Top Gear has the "Stig", Autopia has Accumulator!

Heh heh, we`ll see how I do for the next few days as my usual PC is dead and I`m trying to do this stuff on one of my wife`s spares.

And as for my postcount/etc., my mother is probably spinning in her grave; she was a typing instructor and always considered me utterly hopeless at the keyboard.

And, heh heh#2, seeing Ron Ketcham on this thread makes me feel I oughta

before his superior knowledge anyhow, can`t begin to count how many times he`s schooled me!

But yeah, I do enjoy helping people out within my sphere of expertise, or at least letting others benefit from my (sometimes unfortunate) experiences.

And as for Bill D (whom I`m *really* glad to see return to Autopia!)... I really did mean it about my accumulating cars! I`m gonna get down to six vehicles yet, you just wait and see :chuckle:

I believe you, but that`s going to be a new,major chapter in Autopia history! :chuckle:

Yes, less IS more!

Congratulations Accumulator, you are an inspiration to so many as a â€œpractical perfectionistâ€ Thank you.

Wow! 30,000! What is it that you don`t accumulate Accumulator? :clap2:
