Defiantly a community, not a forum!

I got married recently, and as many of you know I met my good lady through this community. At the wedding I was genuinely moved to see a group of empeggers had gone to massive lengths to attend, flying huge distances and going to so much trouble. When I first saw them all smiling at me, I had to go and have a "moment" I was very touched.

I found it particularly hard to get though my little speech seeing them all there, it meant so much to us both. Can anyone guess who the distance travelled prize went to ???

I was having a chat with RobS that evening (who appears to get getting younger BTW!) and we both said the same thing, many in this community are largely unaware of how much this place has changed some of our lives. Tom I think you are one of these people, your quiet influence has kept this place going yet you seem unaware of the massive respect you are due. I don't really see what there is to apologise for.

I think it has done a good job so far so I don't see why much has to change. I do like the mass email idea to prompt a few long lost friends to return. I always found the empeg stuff interesting of course, but Off Topic is why I stayed and even attended the meets.

Cheers

Cris.
