(Sorry, had to reply to the last post to make sure I caught her. She was 50 ahead of me earlier tonight)

THE HISTORY: Megan Joined YT in May 2005. I joined in June 2005. She beat me to every significant milestone UNTIL 7,000. When I realized I was a few posts ahead of her, I made a marathon run at 7-K. She caught on to my ploy too late. I beat her to 7-K by several posts.

MEGAN'S REVENGE: After that, she kicked my butt to both 8-K and 9-K. Such a child!

AKYORKIE'S REVENGE: I got hooked on the game threads and found myself several hundred posts ahead of her when she returned from a recent vacation.

THE DEAL: Rather than make a teenager stay up all night trying to catch me, I agreed to wait if she agreed not to pass me. Today, she (apparently) lived up to her end of the deal. She hit 9,982 and sent me an e-mail to tell me I was 50 behind. The brat. So I've been up for the last hour catching her. Which I do with this post.

THE SHOWDOWN: Stay tuned. I'm going to suggest to her that we both hit 9,990, then meet in YT chat to get someone to give us the official GO! First to reach 10-K has eternal bragging rights.

THE TIME: I'm not sure when she's going to be available. I'm going to suggest 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time today.
