Growth comes with success, success comes with good management... If posts had not been accidentally chopped, I'd have a million posts
Pete
I KNOW ... and I've have half a million!
Good to "see" you, Pete. I'd like to add my congratulations and thanks to the owners and moderators past and present for providing us with this virtual campfire to sit around and visit.
Thanks all - that includes all you other members as well, wouldn't be a forum without y'all.

Well, here's a good opportunity to express my gratitude for this board and especially for the leadership of it. Ya know, I think I took this place for granted for a long time. Until I had a chance to be a part of another board (sports related and local here in Memphis). I could not believe how threads consistently degenerated on the sports forum. I hated it. But I truly believe that other board stunned me into realizing what we have in this one. And I know that didn't just happen without the excellent leadership here. Lee and the others are so good with handling all the personalities on a daily basis. Of course I don't really have an understanding of what it takes to run this place, the costs, the hours, the growth and on and on. But I don't have to understand it to be thankful of it. I've had so much fun and so much gain from all of ya'll. I know this is only an online forum and I try to put it all in perspective. But as humbly as I can state it.... Thank You.

Aha yes, the Datsun. Drew, that was so long ago it is practically an inside joke. I wonder how many still here remember those tales of the Datsun. Almost makes me start singing "Auld Lang Syne"

And Bob, who could forget those inspiring snaps of you when you took your Heritage Flight in the B-17?
Do you remember "Reaper"? And "Reaper Reloaded"?
Lotsa good memories...
Drew
Drew,
You mean like these...
And I do remember the Reaper. Also remember those pictures of you and your sons building your "man cave" gun room. The finished product is still the one by which all others are measured in my mind.

Yup Bob those are the ones... You went on to the B-24 and B-25 didn't you?
The boys built the Man Cave for me as a Father's Day Present some years ago...
... we need an annex these days as it's now nearly full...
Thanks Lee for keeping the wheels on this place and especially for allowing some of us who were once sent away to come back.
Good to be here once again among so many dear old friends.... (not that I'm calling you "Old" Bob! )

Ah, we had a lot of fun exchanges with the Reaper. Poor Osprey was just beaten about the head and shoulders on a regular basis. He took it well and retaliated from time to time. I think for a while I called him fish breath. It didn't take it personally, after all, he was an sprey.
And back to Quarter Cherokee "QC". Weren't we going to highjack a bus and drive to main to give an attitude adjustment to a certain member here? I seem to remember stops planned in Houston, LA, GA, and then up here on our way north. Something about flea's in his breachclot? I think the sticking point was we couldn't get a bus with enough GVW to haul all the alcohol it would take to get us to Maine.

Yup Dick, I'm still waiting... seein's how no one showed, I had to give up on the crew that summer and eat all them bugs myself.
I still hear from QC from time to time... he's just as much of a wildman in retirement as he was while working.... now he's hanging out mostly at his Peach Orchard and writing his memoirs.... BTW, do you still keep that room over at the Sebago Lake Motor Court?

Great job Lee. Nor everyone could have taken over from Parabellum and continued the great work.
Thank you (and the monitors) for all your efforts.

That would be about right, as I had a different server back then. I gave up and went away when I couldn't join. It was by chance that I found my way back here.

Thanks Lee and the moderators for a outstanding job, hat off to all of you. This is home to me and I may look somewhere else once a month. This forum is the best on the net. I screw up every once in a while and I will hold out my hand to be smacked with no problems. I think everyone on here is top of the line and I hope we will double the numbers again in two years. THANK YOU, John

Lee - thanks for providing such a unique place for folks to discuss such unique guns. It's not an accident that this is such a lively forum populated by such interesting folks.

Thanks Tim.
