I know we've kicked this around before, but a visit from Doug (canon6) and Cheri (the boss) just brings it home that there are alot of excellent people on this site.  Even though I haven't had the pleasure of face-to-face speaking with people here, I would be proud to count many of you as good friends.  I gotta try to make the Prairie Poodle shoot some day just to meet some of ya!  (Bill, ya need to get rid of the time counter, wife will kill me if she see's how many days I've spent here. :D)  Hope to meet more of you soon.  DP

there are alot of excellent people on this site. 

Yup, when you spend time talking to people who share a common interest you find out there are still good people in the world... Besides that, they're in no position to stab you in the back over the internet!   ;D

I agree..
  A couple days back (When the site was down)we all got to see just how much this place is a pert of my life. I would miss this place a whole bunch if it where not here...

This is a great place with a bunch of great guys!! I'd break bread and enjoy drink with any one of you.

I have to agree - There ARE a lot of good people here. I have met a few members face to face, but feel I know many more.
Great men have vision and resolve to make dreams come true.

Good friends are hard to find.  But there are a lot of people on here that I consider good friends :D

Amen, to all the above, brothers..................BUT....Jawja Boy....You gotta be a city slicker.....us country folk don't worry too much about backstabbers. ;)  They don't last long around here.  These are all good people.  I can admit to not being too bright at times, but I, for one would never try to intentionally harm another, and I think that goes for about everyone here.

Hey, Richard, now that the shims have worn off, how's the body doing?

The knowledge here is abundant and freely given, But the friendship is outstanding. (Even if we do squabble some, That can be fun too)

When I had my accident you guys here pretty much fed me and paid my rent for me while I was layed up in bed, One can only hope to live up to the generousity shown  by all on Greybeards. 8)
