Let me be the first to say to David Haun, Founder and Nurturer of this great site that I have greatly enjoyed your time as the Pilot of this Great Boat.
Thru your steady and consistent hand, you have allowed this site to grow in it`s own way to what it is today.
You are a Master at smoothing over ruffled feathers without taking sides and encouraging acceptance of others opinion even if they are different from their own.
I`m sure there have been many times when you just wanted to dump it all and walk away and I appreciate you hangin` in there when it didn`t seem worth it.
You have enabled a lot of new friendships to be built and grow among a bunch of what would have been just strangers.
That may be the greatest benefit of this whole endeavor .
While I live at the northern extreme of the target area of this site ,I have managed to meet in person a few and many more thru Pm`s and general forum action and consider most all good friends . I also hope to meet some more in the future and yourself in person one day.
Once again , thanks for all your time and trouble Dave.
Now you`ve got some more time to fish too !!!
