I don't get time to post much anymore, and do all I can just to lurk when I have a little down-time at the office.....I feel I have indeed slipped out of the loop somewhat, but still always feel at home when I stop in and love to see the familar participants and try to catch up on what I have missed. I have been posting/visiting on the various watch boards for I think closing in on a decade (gosh, time flies and I can't even remember when I caught this bug anymore!)....and I can honestly say, ThePurists has always had the most consistent "homelike" quality, and the VC board in particular has perhaps been my favorite forum anywhere, and I know for a fact Alex's direction has had everything to do with that. I actually very rarely, if ever, go anywhere for my watch-fever medication anymore.
Thank you Alex, thank you Thomas, and thanks to everyone here for being there when I drop by!
Alex, do keep posting when you can, and good luck in whatever ventures are heading your way!
