Congratulations Brother! I noticed your 5999 total yesterday, and thought about how much time you must have invested helping other builders. Thank you.

I don't know... there are a helluva lotta guitar forums/message boards out there. But, I suspect you're right in that relative to the total number of guitar owners or wannabes, all the members of all sites combined would only be a very small fraction of the total.
Another thing to consider, though, is that the readership is dramatically larger than than the membership groups, which are larger than the participatory groups. Typically, it's about 10:1, although that's not a rule. Still, what that would seem to indicate is there are plenty of people who either can't or won't write or don't want to repeat what's already been said.
I still get surprised more often than you'd think these days at how many players don't even know places like this exist. Don't even subscribe to magazines. Talk about sheltered lives. I had a guy show up to buy a guitar a couple years ago who kept coming back to the tuners on the instrument. He'd never seen locking tuners before, and had to be shown how they work. Said "What an excellent idea! They should've done that a long time ago!" Well, "they" did. But, it was only 12-15 years ago, which I guess in the grand scheme of things isn't that long.

Seriously, to echo the thanks that have already been mentioned, one thing that I respect about all of the "high posters" is that those guys have achieved that with real posts. You see very few meaningless "plus 1" type posts on this forum.
