Thank you so much Anthony for the prize and for the great initiative.

i'm very humbled to be mentioned in the same post as JJ, but I think it is great that also new members get to "know him" a bit.
JJ was the first person who sent me a message here on the forum when I signed up, giving me a warm welcome.
I never got to know him very well, but he was always willing to share of his knowledge, always replied if I had some questions and he always made new members feel welcome.

Thank's again Anthony, judges, and I wish everyone a great day!

Greetings from Singapore!

Hey Norway, no thanks needed, it was an collective effort of all forum members. I'm just glad that his family know that he touched a lot of people through his words of kindness, people all over the world. One of the things that always amazes me, is the fact that I have been a member since Aug 2010 , 4 years and only have around 600 post. JJ was a member from 2005 - 2011, around 6 years and he had over 74,000 post. How can you not honor someone like that, with an average of 1,027 post a month, he communicated with a lot of people and chimed in on a lot of topics. I would like to thank Jocke, tkerrmd, and Kilyung for their input and helping choose a winner.
Great picture! And I see that the 2014 Pledge Membership went up fast, less than a day. Enjoy!

I gotta say, although pretty new here I have learned a ton and really enjoy reading and contributing to the threads.
