THREAD BUMP
Realized recently how long it's been since I posted and figured I would "raise my head above the foxhole" again.
Hmmm... Originally found ETS back around early 2001 (maybe late 2000). Lurked quite a while, finally registered, experienced several issues with the ancient servers back in the day, finally between Doug & Chris Kavanaugh I was able to get logged in.
According to the latest info, I joined officially on July 5, 2002 as member #114, with about 432 posts to date. I've always enjoyed the contacts with forum members, a lot online with a good bit offline via email, snail mail and even including a few in person which has been nice.
Originally I wanted to be "Comanche", but through multiple re-registering attempts wound up with "Comanche7". Why Comanche? It's the name of an aircraft that I've always enjoyed flying.
Over the years I enjoyed participating by posting on an irregular basis, mostly I lurked, dealing with the things that life found to occupy my time and all other things that keep us away from the keyboard too much.
After looking at the user listing and reviewing old threads, I too am missing some of the old forum members, "Old Bald Guy" , "Tom Ayers" among others.
I've always been impressed with the courtesy, civility and overall breadth of collective international group wisdom that is present on this site. Over the years, I've encouraged a wide variety of people that I've been in contact with to review the wealth of group knowledge that exists here.
Extending a special Thank You to Doug, all of the moderators and forum members over the years (past, present & silent).
Regards,
Comanche7
