I know I should not be amazed at the quality of this forum. It has exponentially increased in traffic and relevant information.

@mcdanlj You do an amazing job of keeping this forum running and still having time for your personal life. Thank you does not start to express how much I appreciate your hard work.

We are a very small fish in a very large pond but I think we have a great community that is head and shoulders above anything else out there.

Happy New Year to everyone and I am sure it will be better than last!

Add my appreciation and thanks to @mcdanlj for his management of the forum.

Thanks to the rest of you for keeping this a fun and purely technical place to help others, share ideas and get advice. I pretty much have dropped from all other social forums because they are so polluted with politics.
