I nearly overlooked this impressive achievement! I'm afraid because our stats are cached I don't know which post was the 5 millionth. Thanks to all for making PF the best science and math community!

I'll be damned. Apparently playing with yourself pays off after all. :smile:

Congratulations Greg. You've done a fantastic job.

Nah, they were taken from the sidebar homepage several months ago to make room for the videos widget

The glory goes to the members and mentors! Remember I'm just a simple bolt in the machine :)
 
I'm pretty sure I was #4,999,999. It's always my luck to be a day late and a dollar (post) short :smile:

Rubbish. You have a rare combination of wisdom and patience that I'll never possess.

Ok, now that I've thought about this some more, I realize that you may have a good analogy going here. You are a bolt in the machine and I'm one of the nuts.
