Well, had a tough time with players tonight. But...I do not care about that...What I do care about is...NEW MILESTONE!!! 30,000!!! 
You know, I have to confess, at some point I told Helen, man I feel burned out, I don't think I can play any more UT, I am tired, It is too much, I am retiring...Some of you may have noted my absence. It was because of that. But I cannot be away from this game for too long. I take long breaks, play other stuff, but after a while, I end up coming back, and I came back for the 30,000, there is nothing like UT, a game where you keep returning even when you do not do so well has to be really good, cause that is a rarity. UT is unique. It is a treasure. And Mount St. Helen makes it even better.
Ok, I decided I am going to do these posts every 10,000. I think it is a good number. 

Nice work, Tank!  I remember at this time last year 30,000 seemed like an impossible number to reach. Here we are though!  I like the idea of meeting back here in another 10k. See you soon!

I really liked Tank's comment's about reaching 30,000 and UT
It's the best game ever and great people.
I'll probably be burried with my game of the year edition.
