that time, I have enjoyed the company of many friends, many leaders, and many acquaintances. I have learned many lessons,

shared many thoughts, and exchanged many ideas with the users that populate this nation-web. I thank them for their efforts

to lessen my endeavors and duties. I have enjoyed every moment of it, from the angry to the heartwarming to the silly. I have

rarely logged off this site feeling deliberately downtrodden. In all honesty, I love this site and its inhabitants. I hope to continue

my lifespan on this site and to further my progress towards eventual success and friendships.
