I know it's been said before but...

This place rocks!!!

what a truly awesome community! I just noticed the thread on the main forum about Nathan and Jocke exchanging some trinkets. I myself have been the recipient of some great advice from "cholack" and "gulfstream69xr7" recently about some purchases and Ralphie "ralpie" sent me some super ZINX Zinc Acetate tablets for when I was sick two weeks ago. Alfred getting a present from Oscar and Dan finally getting some fresh Pappy!

So it's been said before but it needs to be said again I'm proud to be associated with this crew and I respect and appreciate you all!!!

Well said indeed Marc, I have had my share of gifts, pieces of advice and wonderful comments from people around here and I feel lucky to consider some members my friends. TRF is an amazing community!

...Now how about you tell everybody that I am your favorite?

eman1200 gave me computer advice that has led the Long-Haired General to completely re-do our website, increasing traffic dramatically.

Bayerische sent me cool Rolex golfballs AND the alcohol I'm merrily pouring down my throat as I type but, more importantly, gave me his time and advice.

A few people/threads may have made my teeth itch but many, many others have entertained me, broadened my knowledge and just given me a damn good laugh!

I agree. This is my favourite place on the Internet.

I just hope I'm not one of the ones causing you dental irritation!

Well Marc you said it perfectly. It truly is amazing how a lot of us tend to go out of our way to help other people on a forum that for the most part we have never met in person. It's truly amazing the kinds of friendship that are started on this forum.

I couldn't agree more. This place is filled with people who seem to respect one another, and share a true passion for living life. I belong to THT (The Hull Truth) a boating forum and the guys there are arguing and getting into pissing contests non stop..but this forum rocks !!!
