This post really has nothing to do with this thread, but for a few reasons I'm posting it here, among them being:
1) To honor a good friend who has passed on, and
2) Because a number of long time UG posters have posted in this thread.
Anyway, maybe it's just that now that we have a good set of moderators, I don't spend nearly as much time on UG than I used to, and often don't even get here daily anymore, but it seems like there has been an influx of good new members posting, as well a a number of guys who have always been great posters who had taken a sabbatical from UG have returned.
Perhaps, I'm seeing this through rose colored glasses, but it seems from where I sit that UG is experiencing somewhat of a resurgance as of late, and I wanted to thank:
a) the new guys who are making good contributions,
b) the guys who have ceom back after being away for a while, and
c) most of all the guys and gals who have been here the whole time making this a place worth visiting.
