Thank you Peter for keeping the forum going all of these years. Quite honestly, I do not even know if I would be alive right now without the knowledge I have acquired here. I certainly would be in a very sorry state without the forum, and likely my wife would not be fairing much better.

I hope there are a few more members that can help reach this years goal and even go well above it for next year. I see we are quite close now to this years goal. Peter was correct to have faith in his members to support this very unique and important forum. I was pleasantly surprised when I logged on and seen the increase.

Although we all may have different opinions on various subjects, it really made me proud to be part of such a group that can come together when the going get tough. I am both impressed and humbled by such a great bunch of individuals.

I would like to also thank everyone who contributes to the forum in your own way. I read about every post, even when it is over my head, but nonetheless I don't often go away without learning a little bit more than when I logged in.

I feel like I am part of a very dysfunctional family and I wouldn't have it any other way. (After all, I strongly suspect Peter is wearing Spock ears off camera)

I look forward to a new year of learning and debates from people around the world. Thank you all very much.

Dan
