While I certainly hope and pray you and LBJ will be with us for years to come, I'm glad to see you have a Plan. Thanks, Para, LBJ, and LDD.
As an aside: As you noted, server storage and bandwidth isn't free. If any of the three of you at any time feel a supporting membership plan is called-for in order to relieve some of the financial burden, I'd be more than pleased to do what I can do to help.
Agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY! It's crazy that I haven't met very many members but I have teared up more than I'd care to admit over losses and scares and stories posted here. Even for grumpy cusses like myself, this place matters for ALL the reasons Para mentioned and many more!

YooperSigsI am fully on board with this and if the need should arise, will kick in some $$$ to keep the forum as it is now.
Continued best wishes for Para, LBJ and LDD.

pedropcolaThanks for letting us look behind the curtain boss. This is easily the best forum, on any subject, I have ever joined. I pray it’s a long time before LDD has to take over by himself. Thanks again.

vinnybassPara, I salute you sir, and applaud your forward-thinking plan of succession. God willing its implementation is a long way off.

LS1 GTONow I wonder, is LDD's originally signed waiver still on file or, will he need to re-read?

clubleaf206Gratified to hear this, I’ve grown
accustomed to this place. Others have referred to the forum as a “campfire”, and it is that. I may not be one of the hip kids, getting to sit at the cool kids table, I still feel a sense of community, regardless. I have laughed, cried, commiserated many times over the years I have been here, I don’t post often these days, mostly because someone has already expressed my thought better than I could have. In spite of that I do stop by, every day, and peruse the threads. Who could have believed that a web forum on the internet would become such a part of my life? More than once over the years this place has been my rock and I’m happy to be here, boss.
