For the record, it took me 6 months to get to 10,000...and another 4 months to get 20,000 (10 months total). I just know Philip's gonna hit 80,000 within the next few days...and I'm not quite to 66K. :-\\ (I did hit an interesting milestone---65,536---a few days ago.) By the time I hit 70,000 (which will probably be before October 1st), Philip's post count might be the zip code for Pheonix, Arizona! :o

Let's see...at this rate it would take you till next February to get 20,000...although it might be sooner! Anything's possible.

I know. I've been typing some of those numbers...in fact, the first thing I typed in was 65940, which produced no matches. Then I tried one which I know exists: 65721...which was located in Ozark, Missouri.

I'll try sixty-six thousand and see if it works.

In the UK we have Postcodes and these are set out in a different format, so the world famous Abbey Road Studios at 3 Abbey Road, St Johns Wood,  London, has the postcode of  NW8 9AY. The NW8 is for the area of St Johns Wood in London, and the 9AY denotes the street or area.

Yours being numerical, makes it easier for me to remember, but for the letter within the postcode especially the last two as initials of a person.

Some postmen (mailmen) yes, but I was employed as a postman a few years back and I had training in recognising postcodes, even foreign ones.
