PS: Bug Hunters Badge Issued:

This also shows that sometimes new users with zero posts can and do make strong contributions to UNIX.com. You don't need to have 1000s of posts and "thanks" to be a major contributor to our community! Everyone started out here with one post, even me :slight_smile: and some members like Pankaj, make major contributions with zero public posts working behind the scenes! I have invited Pankaj (LinkedIn) to stay active here when he has time.

Thanks Again!
