Done, Para. clubleaf206 just said everything else.

Rodger on he future plans for Sig Forum.
I'm a little concerned about the "hospital" and future of Para.
I thank you for all that you have done for Sig Forum. "We" are in good hands with LDD.

First and foremost I am glad to hear you are doing better. What you described sounded very scary.
Second,thank you for everything you have done in the past and continue to do in the future for your forum family.

I remember about 2 days in 2004ish when this forum went offline. Honestly I was scared. I had grown to love this place and its membership. Thank you both for creating this environment and I am proud to be a member here. LDD will get our full and unwavering support. Rest easy, we wont disappoint you.

Para thank you for sharing and may you all Live a very long healthy blessed lives. God Bless !!!

Amen, and thank you all for this forum.

If 500 members mailed you $33.00 per month
Would that make any kind of a dent in the costs / expenses ?
At all

Yes, but I am not requesting that at this time.

My thanks for revealing that a continuation plan exists, and I will support LDD when he takes over. I pray that is not necessary any time soon, though.

Outstanding. We’re all very happy and relieved that you’ve made sure this will continue to be the best place in cyberspace.

Got it.

And, I'm glad you're in better health.

What club said. Also,, live long and prosper.
To you and the rest of my invisible friends.

Thank you all, for everything.

It's all been said before yet, cannot be understated. This place is the best corner of the internet for me, and many others. Wisdom, honor, history, ideas, news, and a similar appreciation for the country we live in,.. and a help for all. You and the admins are truly appreciated!! A toast to the decades to come ( clink! )

Here's to many more years before you need to think about this again.
And best wished to LBJ too.

Thank you for all that you have done for this forum, including your thoughtful succession planning. May your succession plans become very, very, very dusty before they are ever needed!

That is very thoughtful and gracious of you, Para, and LBJ.

Thank you, Para.

I recall many years ago that Para and lbj stated this forum would continue to thrive, even if they departed this mortal realm {hopefully many, many years from now}. My trust hasn't wavered and you kept the faith. I'm sure you know the membership is here for you both and for LDD as well.

I can't say how grateful I am to the three of you gentlemen for keeping this beacon not just alive, but as a thriving bastion of American values & long-distance friendships.

Amen. LDD is the man.
