Allow me to congratulate you on the 1000 th post and three years of survivorship. I know that there are a lot of great people here are OCF and you are most diffently one of them. You took the time from your day to call me (long distance at that)to put my mind at ease the other day. I can not tell you how nice that was. I hope someday I can return the favor.
Thanks,
John

You, like many others who come to this site have helped many more with your information and advice. I have told you on many occasions how you inspire me. I look up to you as a friend, colleague and gentleman. I hope your retirement treats you well. Congrats on the three year milestone! I look forward to watching you make many more years. If you get bored you should head to Nova Scotia and I'll introduce you to a beautiful salmon fishing spot that you will never want to leave. All the best!! Cheers my friend. Mike
