I was reading through some threads and I came across a post I’d mae over a year ago and noticed that my join date showed August of 2000. Turns out ir was three years ago yesterday. My, how some things have changed. Thanks, SDMB community, for the many, many friends I’ve made, the many things I’ve learned, the many places I’ve had a chance to visit (thanks to DopeFests), and for the openning up of a world of on-line schtuff I’ve been happy to have at my fingertips for the last few years. Good stuff. ---

It is my honor to say that you, dear **thinksnow** , are one of the Dopers I’ve met personally! I haven’t seen you around much lately; maybe we’re just hanging out in different threads? I’ve been around _four_ years and still boast a pretty measly post count, comparison wise. Anyway, congrats on the longevity! 🙂 ---

Hey **think**! Good on you, pal. It kind of surprises me think that it’s already been just about two years since you met with **Crafter\_man** and me at the Air Force Museum. ---
