OK - fess up... Have you guys got a webcam hidden in my office/house?? I mean, I get off the forum last night about 10:45 after straightening out some server issues and sending out some final PMs - and you snuck this in while I was off-line???
Seriously, my sincerest thanks.. I truly mean that.. But as well - I also mean this...
This is more than a BBS or a "forum". It's rather a "community" - and it's not my community, it is yours, both individually and collectively. The folks in your community are your friends, or your "new members ("neighbors)" and - sometimes - we chuckle together, chide each other, laugh, cry - and even exchange some hurt feelings..
So for that - please do not thank me? Thank each other, OK? While any technology can be offered up, it takes real people behind that technology to make it "personal" - or make it "home" - make it "yours". And you have done all that - not me..
My role is rather simpler - and straight forward...
If we are going to do something - it needs to be "best of breed". It means it is "done right", no excuses. You've earned that right - and have every right to expect nothing less...
You have made a commitment to make this community the single best Internet community on the Internet, and I think we've made huge strides to that goal. My commitment back to you is to continue to be sure I am responsive to the demands of your community and individually and more - moving the technology ahead - "just paving the roads in your town" so you can do what "you do" better...
And really - it's a point of pride for me, I guess?
And I guess - I'm not alone in that pride..??
Mark - thank you for posting that.. It's more appreciated than you might know, but I suspect you do know?
John
(BTW - if you DO have a spy cam back here - I'll be at my "other job" until this afternoon.. I'll wave as I leave this office to you, tho'...
