: ---Well $2MM doesn't seam to entice me. the one I am looking forward to is the 1mm bill....

I'm going to agree with WildChild here... While $1mm was quite a milestone, I'm not going to start tracking the total dollars,
bills entered and total users milestones simply because they are divisible by 1,000. It also took alot of time to calculate the
$1mm dollar mark, which I think I'm not going to do this time around. I will slow down the counter as we get close, and update
it as soon as we go over the $2mm mark. I don't want people mass entering bills just to be "the one". It's like trying to have a
millennium baby - just a bit foolish if we have to do it EVERY TIME we have a milestone. I'm not trying to be a scrooge here,
I'm just as happy as everyone else when we get there, but I'm the one who has to deal with the server load balancing and
deleting a ton of crap entries. I'll announce when we pass the $2mm mark, but that's about it.
