Mike - I first joined this forum more than five years ago, after lurking on the internet sideline for more than a year. I'm the type of person that has always "Blazed my own Trail", plus or minus, black and white, yes and no with not much in between, it was my way or the highway for most I encountered. Once I joined this forum, I still did not participate for months, as I was "testing the waters". Mostly as I needed to know, "was this for me?".
Mick and you (a few others) were people that I had decided, yes I can relate to and more important for me, have a exchange of thought with. One of my first post, was a "hijacking" of another members post. I asked a very selfish and self serving question. It was something like "where can I sell my gold and get my money now?", type of post. You set me straight with a response along the lines of "cool your jets" and take sometime to learn about the facts. Most others ignored me completely (rightly so), you continued to engage me by encouraging me to learn from all other members (past and present).
Mike simply put I would have not stayed with this forum without your leadership, mentoring, humor, sternness and above all, you CARE for all of us. I will pray for you and your family, I have seen modern medicine do amazing turnarounds, in persons I know. Remain positive, strong in faith and most important "keep your will for another day".
We will be here keeping this forum advancing my friend, as we have a leader that showed us how it is done!
