Postby Manta on Tue Mar 28, 2006 1:26 pm

I missed it by a few days but I'm sure there are many of you out there who will enthusiastuically join me in congratulating John on reaching this impressive milestone.

John has always been a keen and active participant in not only the activities in this area but also just about every discussion posted on this site. He responds constructively to a huge number of posted images and never hesitates in offering advice, support and a healthy dose of humour.

He's contributed some incredible photos here as well.

I personally wish to thank you, John, for your posts, your willingness to impart your skills and your friendship.

Keep doing what you're doing.

I'm really sorry about that Steve - I try to keep an eye on the numbers so no-one feels left out but I guess I dropped the ball on yours. My sincere apologies and thanks for all your contributions as well! :oops:

Congratulations John
It is a pleasure having you aboard this wonderful forum and each one of your posts has been a pleasure to read. Which just goes to prove you don't drink enough alcohol! It's time you posted some garbled rubbish so that we know you have selected a fine wine for the night. :D :D :D :D
