Thanks for the forum Mark, which you so generously payed for from your own pocket. Thanks for the opportunities that it opened to me, most especially meeting jolly, like minded, new friends in a foreign land. I hope to meet many more. I am sorry I never met you.

I always enjoyed reading your well written, knowledgeable and authoritive posts. The first few times that I visited this site it was your posts in particular that drew my attention at first and kept me coming back.
I sincerely hope that this community will keep the flame burning, in order that others can benefit from the wonderful resource that the forum has become.
Condolences to all in mourning.
