From: Mike .
Hi Folks,
Once again it is my great pleasure to induct another Forum contributor to the Forum Hall of Fame. That person joins Les and Andrew G as the third inductee.
In my previous FHoF post I said: "Geoff1 came in half-way through Andrew's term and his score of 10 in only 12 weeks means he is a near certainy to be the next inductee into the FHoF. His advice has been well received and once I have read the next 12 weeks of posts we'll see if he makes it."
Well, no surprises, congratulations Geoff1 on becoming the newest member of the FHoF. As you will see from the Classic Post results Geoff1 did it against some stiff opposition.
I won't list here all the names of Classic Post winners in this 6 month period (26 Apr - 10 Oct, 2000) but the main ones were, as follows:
12 Geoff1
10 Owen
9 DuncanM
8 Les
8 Gee Cee
7 Gary Smith
6 Andrew G
6 The Wife (TW)
6 Pierre
6 Steve McKnight
As a result of the many helpful posts from Geoff1, here are a few comments made by other forum members in appreciation:
Geoff, I like your attitude! I've always thought it was a case of Growth or Yield, but not both.
Geoff, your post is very informative.
Thanks for your comments Geoff.
Hi Geoff!, thanks so much for your advice it was very helpful.
Geoff, great advice.
Thanks for your advice.
Thanks for providing the extra food for thought.
I'm with you on this one. Sounds good to me.
Geoff nice to see you back at Somersoft.
Thanks Geoff.
G'day Geoff1, You rose to the occasion admirably Geoff - and Thank you for the insight.
Geoff, Thanks for the excellent contribution.
Hi Geoff1, If the valuer uses my research as a guide it'll be time to bake more cookies - Yeh!!!
I too went along to your seminar on Wednesday night and was suitably impressed. Now I have the urge to do more.
This is the right place to ask him directly. Geoff1 - forum poster extraordinaire - is your man.
Hey Geoff, Look forward to doing your workshop! Even an old dog like me can learn a new trick or two.
Well said!!
When are you running another seminar? I'd be interested in attending!
Hi Geoff1, Great to hear that you've now got a website, I'm looking forward to what you have to say.
Mike: For those newbies who might be intrigued to know a little more about our newest Hall of Famer, shortly I'll post a brief biog from snippets of Geoff1's posts. Stay tuned.
Unfortunately, Geoff retired from posting to the Forum last year but keeps in touch with many of us via his free newsletter. Once again, on behalf of everybody, congratulations Geoff1, and come back for a visit anytime.
Regards, Mike
PS For those interested in the accumulated Top Ten standings:
22 Les

5 comments I'd like to add:
1. Like Andrew G, Geoff1's term was a contrast of two halves: 10 Classic Posts in the first half and only 2 in the second half. Like Andrew, I suspect Geoff1 was focusing on getting his website happening and running his seminars which have been popular.
2. Geoff1 gained the admiration of the Forum for his efforts in thwarting the plague of spammers.
3. Some new names have appeared on the Top Ten list and I have a feeling I could be announcing the 4th name into the FHoF in the near future. Any guesses? "Oh, when the saints...O, WHEN the saints...O,WEN the saints come marching in"...hehehe ;^)).
4. Sadly, Sue1 posted her last one on the 9th Oct, 2000. She didn't mention she was retiring from the Forum. She just vanished. Has anybody kept in touch? Sad to see another good poster leave us.
5. Robert Kyosaki's game Cashflow 101 was introduced to the Forum by The Wife in July 2000. Social events were organised around this game in most state capitals and major regional centres. The object of the game is to get out of the rat race. I think those who follow the game's principles (WITHOUT cheating...right TW?) and use the Forum for feedback will sidestep the pitfalls of property investing to a successful investing career.
