My sincere thanks to you guys that put ATS together!
When I first started lurking here years ago, it was like going from looking through a pin hole at the world to looking backwards through a pair of
binoculars! The service you provide the citizens of the world is priceless.
And the fact that so many people from all walks of life, countries, beliefs; can come together, even having differences and sometimes heated debates,
for the most part all here recognize we are all brothers and sisters on this spaceship Earth.
That, imho, is the unmeasurable measure of success for ATS.
Cheers!!!

OK, Skep. So what's new? I mean should we be surprised? I ain't at least. It's a progression that we've got used to by now!
We're rushing
headlong towards becoming one of the top internet sites in the world. And that's going to happen sooner than later! And we are all proud of it!
Now, what in the world do these columns in Content Performance mean....?

I wonder if SimonGray ever thought his little "brain-child" website would grow into such an intellectual monster in about a decade?
Leave it to Zorgon to throw some water on the fire...He noticed something that's slipping "under the radar" while the "Bailout Bill" hogs all of the attention...Even though he did it an an amusing way, I caught on to the fact that just because ATS does have good cause to celebrate, no one can afford to let down our guard.
Just a mere few months ago, conspiracy "theory" on ATS has been shown to be conspiracy FACT today. Zorgon points out HR 1955 (already passed the House, going to the Senate), which shows this in the full-text of the Bill (excerpted):
Even though they go to some lengths to point out that they shouldn't be violating Civil Rights in the process, we already know how well they abide by that!
It's fine for us to celebrate a well-earned benchmark performed by the ATS Staff & Members, but as Wendell Phillips once said: "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty; power is ever stealing from the many to the few."
...So let's not let ATS backslide by relaxing our vigilance!
If I could give Zorgon an Applause for maintaining his vigilance & presenting it in such a humorous way, I would.

`The Congress finds the following:
`(3) The Internet has aided in facilitating violent radicalization, ideologically based violence, and the homegrown terrorism process in the United States by providing access to broad and constant streams of terrorist-related propaganda to United States citizens.
