Yes, I need less than 200 posts to give my legacy an even thousand.  Will I do it?  Can I do it?  More importantly should I do it?  All the answers point to Yes.  Plodding on beyond 800 has committed myself to the larger goal.  Let's see.... 198 posts divided by 1000 carry the 6 multiply the integer by 4 and subtract my birthday plus expenses.... yes, that should do it!
 
This is wayward son carrying on......

What will be will be.

Hey, we're neck and neck. They'll probably wait until we're at 999 and then pull the rug out from under us. Thus goes my life.
