A Lurker speaks up (sort of) and says thanks...

Nice !

I assume that, as the owners, receiving such a note is encouraging ! As members, we often forget to say Thank You for keeping such a website going, free & with a standard way above all the rest that's out there.

This thread brought a smile to my face.

I love seeing that.

I have recently stated that ATS has been a positive influence in my life, and has helped make me into the man I am today. The people here are top notch.

Some of you folks living in the cities of the world take your greatest resource for granted: people. The people you live around offer you a chance to be enriched by what they have to offer. Country folk like me have not often had that opportunity throughout history. The internet has changed all of that.

I come to ATS for the people. This is my community, and I am every day enriched through my interaction with this cross segment of the worlds population.

a reply to: SpringerThat is so sweet. This is an awesome spot to learn and laugh.

The administrators and site moderators get more headaches and have to listen to more whining here then most of us do in our entire lifetimes, I'm sure.

It must be nice to get a break from that and read some positive input.

Interesting that it comes from a non-member.

I'm thinking a lot of us members are kinda spoiled and may not appreciate ATS being here.

Something for folks to keep in mind ...
