One of life's true pleasures

[Doug]

is the opportunity to start and end nearly every day with this forum and to enjoy the contributions of each of you - your wit, your wisdom, your help, seeing your work, and seeing your patterns and finding some of them simple enough for my limited skills.  I never know how to do a subject line to get the most possible to read a post but I did want to share my thoughts about SSV and what Travis and main elf/moderator Clayton provide for each of us.

 

To express my appreciation I just renewed my Patron/Supporter status for two years.  I encourage each of you who are visitors to become members (it is free) and if you get only part of the enjoyment from SSV which I do, I encourage members to become supporters.  SSV is not in your face about donations and I was a member some time before I finally looked at the drop down menus at the top and found by clicking on "Support SSV" it would help me get to a place where I could help support what Travis, Clayton, and any other moderators may do.  Running a successful forum takes an enormous amount of time and some amount of dollars.  It took me some time to figure out when my Patron/Supporter status was due to expire but I found if I went to Support SSV and Add to Cart I would get an Oops Already Purchased message and if I clicked to View or Renew it would then tell me when my support expired - Travis, you might consider showing this in member profiles so it is simpler for us challenged folks.  For $10 per year, I get more enjoyment from SSV and all of you than any other $10 I spend.

 

To all of you fellow Americans, Happy Fourth of July

 

To all of you Brits, I understand you have some celebration on July 3 (today) to celebrate in some manner that we would no longer be throwing your tea into Boston Harbor so enjoy your celebration.

 

And to all of the rest of you, I hope you each have a lovely weekend and I look forward to hanging around this entire group for another couple of years.

 

Thanks again to Travis, Clayton, and any others I do not know but should be thanking for keeping SSV up and running and I hope that each of you

I totally agree Doug. I had been going to do that for a while now and I figure it will make a nice birthday present to myself so I went and did it after reading this post. That phantom is correct, Warm fuzzy emoticons don’t exist so I guess just a couple of smileys will have to work.   :D

Whooh, Doug...HUGE ROUND OF APPLAUSE (whilst slightly tearful - from me!) I couldn't have expressed it any better myself. (p.s Please note-I rarely use CAPS, for anything).

Nicely put, Doug.

Kindest Regards,

Nick.

Definitely worth the time, it's nice to see everybody help and enjoy what they do.

By the way, you Brits should know most Americans have found they do not like taxation with representation - especially the representation we seem to have at this time.

I had NO warm fuzzy feeling on April 15 and I gave Uncle Obama a hell of a lot more.
