I know I'm getting old, but I'm not sure I qualify as an oldtimer.
I joined up sometime around '99 or 2000 and still keep in touch with a fair number of the old guard, many of whom l consider true friends. I have learned so much from the gang here (and there, and everywhere) and laughed so hard at so many of the jokes and anecdotes.
It breaks my heart to think of missing friends - Don, and Pete, and Tom, Jeff, John, Terry, Miss Beth... and on and on the ever longer list goes...we've all suffered... but I am grateful for every bit of wisdom and tomfoolery shared and passed around by this conglomerate of enthusiasts and oddballs. Mostly, I'm thankful for being welcomed into the fold with a hot bowl of Tom's chili and a big dollop of Jeffs HOT sauce. Laughing through tears is a rite of passage.
