I know I'm not as active as I once was but I'm lurking daily. It's crazy that the babiies of memebers when I started out here are now in high-school. Great products brought me here and great people kept me here. Many thanks to T-Man, _Andrew, Nickie, SexyMat, KarmaGirl, Nakor, and of course Frogboy for all they've done at the WinCustomize and Stardock forums.

I have three events on my calendar that have lasted through many event purges; my wife's birthday, our anniversary, and joining this place. It is still the most friendly group of internet denizens around. Thanks!~
