Just became a pledge member...!
I don't know if this is a good place for this post, but I have to pause and say that as one of the many forums I have been privileged to be a part of, TRF is beyond all my expectations.
I have never been derided here because of my many insipid newbie questions or because I may have asked a question that has been asked 100's of times before. Thank you all for making me feel welcome! Because of this and also the vast knowledge, encouragement, and ADVICE that I have received here, I have become a pledge member today. It is a privilege I assure you and I know that because of the wisdom and knowledge here it will possibly save me many thousands of dollars in my future Rolex acquisitions. Thank you to all members of TRF and especially the moderators of such a fine group of people and a great forum. I would just say that if this forum is of the least bit of benefit to you, please consider becoming a pledge member. If this is not the correct sub-forum for this, please place it where it belongs. My very best heartfelt regards to all, Richard PS. No one has ever asked me to donate to this forum or to post these thoughts.

Well said Richard.
Sorry we have missed out deriding your posts, not sure how that slipped through - I will see if Bubba or Jim can rectify this. |

Becoming a pledge member is a slippery slope Richard. Next you'll be sending a friend request to JJ!
