Thanks Pablo. I'm at a loss for words here.
Yeah, I guess I should have been more explicit here.
Rather than
congratulations I had in mind a big
thank you. Why ? Well, before I bumped into the long time gone NMERider YT channel, only sparsely I did watch HG vids, most of them being the usual boring TO+landing vids with some famous pop/rock rusty theme in the background. But then there they were ! The more detailed videos with animations, tracks, flight descriptions, decisions, ups and downs in the endless struggle of staying airborne... Wow, they were really XC videos !!
Bad times when the great YT channel disappeared. And great times again when it resurrected, more than once with different names
And then one thing led to the other. From YT to "the org" forum, where so much of good advise is found in such a variety of topics: equipment, technique, safety, more great vids from a variety of great posters... and yes, a lot of noise. But signal clearly pops up from guys like you and some others (which I don't mention not to dismiss those I'll for sure forget). In this context of sensible comments and fine advice I wouldn't take your 10k as an accomplishment, rather a plain consequence of helping keeping this community alive also in the virtual world, where borders are mostly ignored.
Yeah, maybe now it makes more sense to say "congratulations"
