Mel, many congratulations from me aswell, you are an absolute superstar and a godsend to this forum contributing so much on top of your daily work to support people who quite often are not your clients and also often ensuring you put us straight when we unwittingly sometimes offer dubious advice!

I know for a fact the reason I chose you as my IP was because of your reputation and going someway to knowing how you work tirelessly from this forum, IP's often get a hard time from people and sometimes I guess it feels like a thankless task what you do, but believe me, both myself and many others appreciate your contribution very much and I am so glad you are my IP, keep up the fantastic work you and your team do xxx

Incredible....40,000 posts.

And five years of giving your many hours of time and expert advice and actual help free of charge on this forum and off it to people in sometimes desperate situations and desperate need of help....many, many times to people who are not clients of yours too.

Congratulations and Thank You Melanie, long may you continue to post.

Thanks once more to all of you - and sponge I have so much time for the input you make. It is usually to the point, and no-nonsense, but rarely wrong. You have to understand that the technical input the professionals interect into the forum only goes part of the way to assist our posters - the good words of those who have experienced the journey personally is ten times of more value.

All of you are brilliant with the time you take to assist others.
Regards, Melanie Giles, Insolvency Practitioner

Taken me a while but finally found it, Mel has a private thread and spends all night replying with a '.' to boost them up.

But maybe not...

Congratulations.

Wow! Mel you are an invaluable asset to the forum.
Will 50,000 posts qualify you for a golden keyboard? [:)]

That made me laugh Foggy - as I stare down at my own keyboard it is so well used that there are no longer any letters on the keys.

Just as well the Army taught me how to touch type all those years ago. I could still do it in full NBC suit, with gasmask and rubber gloves in the dark - I kid you not!

I teach touch typing and have a fair speed myself but not sure I could do it in all that gear too!

Mel I think what you describe would be a great image for your new pic!! Everyone has the view that you are at your desk in your suit and glasses when all along it looks like a scene from Black Hawk Down in your office!

I could do with touch typing skills and bigger keys to reduce the typos!!
