Greetings TRF,

There it is, I know it's not something to be crazy about but I think it shows how this forum can be enjoyable (and addictive...). I cannot thank enough people around here for their friendship, advice, gifts and overall kindness, this community is incredibly nice and I always like lurking around and get into good conversations with others.

Since I joined I've been able to make a lot of friends to whom I speak on a regular (and often daily) basis. I even talk to those people outside of the forum and I know I'm not the only one who does that, it goes to show that you can indeed meet great folks around here.

Thank you all and may this forum be always as enjoyable as it is and has been.

And unlike some other members... your posts won't be subtracted when certain threads "disappear"

Hi Carl, first I want to congratulate you on your 20,000th post. That is some kind of milestone and it's a testament to your dedication to TRF.

Second during my short time here I must say I've learned a lot from you. Thank you for your immense knowledge, support, kindness, mentorship. Best of all thank you for your friendship.
