Nice thread. 
Heck, I just think you're all great in your own unique ways. I don't post as much as I used to, but I still watch the boards, and have observed how they morph, by accommodating and welcoming each new member. What stays constant, though, is the kindness and community of this place, and that's what keeps me here. When someone is in crisis, it's amazing how many people come out of the woodwork to post their encouragements.
For those I have met in person, I think you're all wonderful. Snap, Jobob, SK, MP, V, Trek, CindySue, BikeGoddess, Z, Badger (I know you as that), among others too many to list -- thanks for the good times, the things in common, and for your friendship.
