I second that emotion...

Dale is the Man!!!!!!

Slan,
D.
And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

Lucky thing Dale keeps his mailing address a secret or he'd be getting at least a few hundred Christmas cards, I bet...

Tell us something.: You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

Merry Chiffmas to one and all!

Especial thanks to those people who have shown me kindness from afar over the past year, with no expectation of, or desire for, reward. You know who you are, and I can only say that I appreciate your generosity more than I can express in words (or whistles, or Guava Jelly).

A big smacker under the Mistletoe for Dale, for without this board my life would be lacking that extra zing that puts a sparkle in the eye. I owe more of my current happiness to Dale than he knows, and have formed friendships with people through this board that will last a lifetime.

The give and take, the frank exchange of views, and the genuine good-natured banter on this board (and the occasional bit of whistle-related information) reaffirm my confidence in the goodness of human nature. We may have different political views or religious beliefs, but we share a common spirit of kindness, helpfulness, and generosity with our time and knowledge.

I've met far too few of you good people in person, yet, but am looking forward to meeting many more Chiffers over the coming years.

Merry Chiffmas, and a Happy New Year, Ho ho ho....




Bah, humbug! :D

Hey that's my cat! I wondered where she got to!

Yes! a Merry Christmas to you Amar, and to Dale and Rich and... and everybody else.

I think Martin said it the most eloquently for me and his thoughts are my wish for all of you here, in a place were I happily call you friends.

A Merry Christmas and a Best New Year to you all!
