Let me be the first (if I type fast enough) to say thanks to Bill for providing this place to learn and laugh.

I have learned much from the members here.

Mostly I learned I have a lot more to learn.

Cheers Bill

Once again, one of our members took the words out of my mouth.

This is a great place to learn code, and as Bob put, it is a great place to learn humility...something everyone needs now and again. Thanks to all who have helped me learn how the game is played.

Welcome Kyme2. I can't say much more than the others.

It's nice to make friends from all over the globe, and see how different and alike we all are.

The people here are mighty good folks and can always teach, help, or make us laugh.

Thanks Bill, and all

Roger

..I just read your profile ga.sparky!! My Mom's from Waycross,outside of Offerman,is that near you??
I found this forum through a link from Mike Holt's forum and I like it. I try to divide my time between the two. It's the members who share thoughts and opinions that make it great. Keep up the good work. [Linked Image]

Thanks for the comments, but it's all of you that deserve the credit.

All of the Moderators deserve thanks for the time they put in and the expertice they bring with them. The people who send in Pictures and supply or draw diagrams for discussion make things more interesting and often show an answer for a difficult question. It seems that many people are here because they care about what they are doing and want to share what they know. It's a good thing!

What can be said but to echo the previous comments? We have a gerat bunch here! [Linked Image]

I'll slip in a plug for the non-U.S. area here. Doesn't matter if you're American born-and-bred and never set foot outside the country, if you have any questions about how things are done in foreign parts, you're welcome to come on over and ask. ECN has members from several European countries and as far afield as Australia and New Zealand.

Hey, time to start saying "Small world" again. [Linked Image] I remember stopping in Waycross on my travels around Georgia in 1993, and in nearby Homerville, on the route west toward Valdosta.

I haven't been to Ga.sparky's town, but pretty close. I went all around the Toccoa/SC border area and to nearby Murphy, NC. [Linked Image]

I just wanted to say thanks to the webmasters and moderators of this site.
I'm a new member here, and really enjoy scanning the posts.
I really enjoy the nostalgia area( I've already posted some pics of the project I'm presently on)- love to see the old stuff.

Again, keep up the great work! [Linked Image]

You know, I'm very often wrong, and I'm corrected.
I'd like to be right, but I'm often wrong.
I've learned more by being wrong here than I have from being right after 33 years in the trade...S
This is a good place to learn,
And nobody will charge you anything [Linked Image]...S
