Hello,

FWIW. I've enjoyed ETS since I first came across it. It was only after lurking for many months and reading virtually everything on the site that I made the decision to participate in the forums. And yes, I reviewed many other forums before and since which I decline to even associate with.

The decision to join was in a large part predicated upon the courtesy, sanity and validity of much of the information and the 99&44/100% of the other folks on the forums that can, do and will continue to follow the very basic guidelines that have been set forth by the owners and moderators.

Thank you to Doug, his wife and the owners of the forum & site for keeping things online.

Thank you to all the moderators who are to my understanding (as well as none of my business anyway) unpaid volunteers who go out and take care of full time jobs and gainful enployment, families then take some of the remaining time left for sleep or other essentials to moderate and "ride herd" on the rest of us.

Thanks to all the others who make it possible, including those behind the scenes making the hardware and software that runs this great site, play nicely together in the sandbox for the rest of us to enjoy and not least of all, the many supporters of ETS.


It has been my pleasure to meet several of the ETS members in person, and others more vicariously via the forum, PM's, E-Mail and phone conversations.

This forum is one that I view on a regular basis and enjoy being a member of.


Hmmm...guess I'll get off my soapbox now and try to find my dinner to eat while I finish perusing the rest of the recent forum postings etc.

Regards,
