Brings back fond memories.

I also remember some of the members listed on the '01 link - some of whom have since changed their user name.

That's fascinating, but what says it all, is the exponential growth in the number of posts over the years.

This site has helped a lot of people.

Thanks for all the help I have had over the years.
