I'm with you Kari! I have stopped posting congrats for anything other than new badges. Not that I don't appreciate the efforts needed for a new pip, there are far too many. Also Gold Member needs no rep, just 2000 posts.
I'm happy to congratulate anyone on new achievements. And it isn't about running up post counts. But after the 1st medal, documenting every pip change does seem a bit much. But members reaching new milestones is worthy of congratulations if it comes to my notice. A Guy
For myself, I've unsubscribed from this thread a couple of times just due to the sheer volume of posts. It's not that I'm not happy to see all the new achievements, just that it's hard to keep up.
A trick I've been using is to not revisit the thread as soon as I get a notification. I'll leave the email notification in my inbox for a while, then catch up on the whole works in one shot. It's not reading the posts that gets to be troublesome time-wise, but the numerous revisits to the page. Before I did this it seemed like a constant cycle of email>>click>>read, new email>>click>>read, etc etc etc. :)
