Their hard work keeps our home-place safe and comfy for everyone.
Thank you one and all!

(30,185 posts)I mean, it was impressive back in Skinners time. But EarlG and Elad are navigating a political landscape plunging into authoritarianism, just two random guys who launched a little website back in the day. You two deserve all the kudos. Much respect!

Hard to believe it's been so many years, and what we were fighting when we were fighting back then was just the small germ of what's grown into this monstrosity. (I still believe 2004 was the final turning point.)
Thanks, EarlG!

(3,855 posts)I had posted an item that quoted WAAAAY too much from an article. Earl sent an email to me gently explaining the rules and showing me how to correct the original.
Very helpful gentleman.
