Nisiprius has 49,000 posts

Post by nedsaid »

It came to my attention just now that Nisiprius has reached an output of 49,000 posts. I thought I would recognize his achievement, I have been a big fan of his thoughtful and well-illustrated posts. Always loved his nifty charts. Thank you for you contribution to this forum, I appreciate the time and effort spent.

You couldn't have waited until 50,000 posts for a nice round number instead?

Darn it, if he posts again, he will spoil it at 49,001.

He is deserving of recognition, I did not want to wait.

One of, if not the best, posters on this site. Hard to believe 49k posts especially given the quality of each and every post.

I was going to address the outstanding QUALITY of his 49,000 posts, but you beat me to it.

Thanks for all of your premium posts, Nisi. You're an ace we want to keep.

Agreed. Anyone can write 49,000 posts but very few can write 49,000 excellent posts. Thanks Nisiprius!

Makes me very happy to see all these mentions about the quality of his posts. They are simply outstanding. I learn a ton from each of his posts.

Each time I see a post from nisiprius, I stop what I'm doing and pay full attention to it, because I know it will be very thoughtful, insightful, well researched, fact based, and best of all, educational. Hard to believe he's done that 49,000 times.

nisiprius: your next challenge (and perhaps the biggest one yet): teach us how to think about a topic and post like you do!

Agree with all of the prior responses. Some threads are of only tangential interest to me, and I scroll quickly through those... but if I see a butterfly, I stop scrolling and read.

I don't read every one of his posts, but when he posts on a thread I am following I always check to see if he supports my perspective. If he has a different take, I check carefully to see where I am off - it has never been nisiprius who is off!

This is exactly what happens to me.
As soon as I see “Nisiprius”, or the Butterfly, I read. It is for sure I will learn something useful.

Thanks a lot Nisiprius. Your insights are really appreciated (Gracias por tus enseñanzas!)

There are a few select posters on Bogleheads who make it the place I keep coming back to for much learning, insight, and more than a little wisdom.

Nisiprius has long topped that list of users. For sure, his is the only Boglehead poster’s name that dw knows.

Many, many thanks.

Because of your tips, I have some TIPS in my portfolio.

I know your posts are good quality; even if an occasional post happens to contain a mistake, it is fixed willingly because teaching and learning is a concurrent process.

All I can say is that you have done great work.

Nisiprius, when I was a lurker you convinced me through several threads I was following that high-yield bonds did essentially nothing for a portfolio.

You were right. You helped me on my journey toward simplicity.

For that, and so much more great stuff in your posts, thank you!

Congratulations, "Nisiprius". . . for your unselfish dedication to helping others.

As others have stated, your "quality posts" and high level of academics and cogent delivery is without par.

(Quite the opposite from the common PCD (post count driven, comment and opinion) member posts that so often proliferate the forum.)

Keep teaching.
I'll keep learning.

Thanks!
