This was an exciting and gratifying post to read. Thank you for it; I appreciate your appreciation. And I would agree. The community we have here is a special thing, and a rare phenomenon on the Internet. It's the one thing I expected least to happen when I started this site. My idea of community, then, was having reader questions in the Site Journal. I was paranoid about the Message Forum, and paranoider still about RinkChat, but all turned out well thanks to the spectacular caliber of the RinkWorks readership.

I'm glad you're among us.
