Default Sorry for the brief outage a bit ago...

We made it through nearly three days without a power loss during massive winds, a blizzard - and this AM rain & snow...

But about noon today - all power in my area went down.. Battery backups lasted about 50 minutes on all 7 servers - and had to shut everything down...

We are back "live"

LOL!!!! I'll try not to!!! When I tried to "recessatate" one of the servers - it threw a "hissy fit" (and the power supply went out).. I just finished tearing it out and installing a new one...

Honestly? As I write this - I'm thinking I really have "no life"..???

You do us a great service and don't think for a minute that we don't appreciate it.
There are hundreds of us dependent upon you for our daily dose of information and sometimes abuse.

Seriously, though - Thank you George!!!

I know this will probably appear insincere, but... It's both an honor and a pleasure to be associated with so many fine gentlemen and women who are both this community and the general PGCA Membership.. Yes - in many ways - you, and all the PGCA Members "are my life". Indeed, it is my pleasure - and you have my thanks right back for entrusting me with this "cyber-community"... But, for that...

And continuing from above....

It's you - and folks just like you who have built this same community.. It' not "me", so much. You folks write the posts, log in each and every day - welcome on new folks, share congratulations and condolences equally - and much more...

All of those things are to your collective credit - certainly not mine..

By comparison - my "job" is easy... I "put up the traffic lights in this community, pave the roads and simply enforce the rules based on the common good" for this same community...

But - simply - without you, Dennis and George - and all the folks here - we wouldn't even have a community...

So - rather - my thanks right back to you....!

John

BUT! You do that very,very,very well compared to some of the other gun boards.
And that makes a huge difference,that we don't thank you often enough for!! IMHO
