Quite simply....................he's the man!
When things started to go askew, Iddee took it upon himself to create this great place we call home.
I for one am eternally grateful.  :yes:

   whaaaat??!!   were about to get hit by an asteroid!   :laugh:

   I am going to agree with EVERYONE on this post!  The advice and wisdom I have gleaned from you are priceless. The ability to have a place to go that can be enjoyed, without the cut and thrust of harsh words and drama is one of the most valuable things I have in my life.  I will be honest.. I did not think it would work, but, it has, and worked WELL.   As always.. I am impressed..      THANK YOU!

Worse than that, Jack.   YOU COMPLIMENTED A REPUBLICAN.   :laugh:   :laugh:   :laugh:
 
Your friends will never forgive you for that.

Thanks, All. It's has been and continues to be a great ride. I just don't understand why the starter gets the credit for something many hands together built. Each brick laid was fully needed. I thank you all daily.

the 'starter' or 'starters' get the credit because of (for lack of better verbage)  a 'vision'......?.........and the challenge?  :yes:?!

so thanks to you and riverrat for the 'vision' and getting us to where we are now.....incredible and awesome!!!........

I'll also jump on the bandwagon.  If it weren't for this place I can honestly say my first year keeping would have ended before it started, and I may have thrown in the towel. But thanks to the people - nay, friends - I have met here, my story has a completely different ending.
Thanks Iddee!

I gotta throw in my thanks too.  Aside from all the positive things mentioned so far (I totally agrree with), I'll add my words of appreciation for the amazing way in which Iddee says so much in so few words.  That's a real art.
So we have an artist at the helm of our "ship".  Continue leading us along on this great journey in good health and good humor.

As the others have mentioned before Thanks for this wonderful place. You have provided a friendly place where all are welcome. It doesn't mater if we are new and sharing something interesting we have just read, Asking a question that has been asked before, or sharing from a life time of knowledge, all are made to feel welcome. So thank you for the endless hours you spend sitting in front of your computer screen watching out over all of us.
