On a forum loaded with so much excellent content over a number of years, I find I have to be constantly mindful of this. As a fairly new member, I'm forever using the search page to dig up more information on subjects of interest. So many times, I turn up great threads on which I'm dying to comment, only to find they're a decade old and half the posters haven't been heard from in years. And on occasion, like now, the date slips by me.

Which brings me to something that I've been overdue in acknowledging: We all owe a terrific debt of gratitude to our intrepid host, whose hard work hereon has made this excellent forum available for our mutual enjoyment, literally, for years. Without John, it wouldn't happen. For every hour we spend browsing the specific boards that interest us as individuals, I'm sure he must spend five patrolling the forum as a whole, keeping everything on track and maintaining the by and large civil and friendly tone that marks this forum, in contrast to some others. From this, we all benefit by great conversation and the steady exchange of useful and fascinating information about our hobby. This makes it my hands-down favourite, at the top of my list of bookmarks.

Well done, that man!
