Congratulations Rover. You are an inspiration (and I'm not being patronizing). I am a baby by comparison on these boards - and I am always impressed to see somone who has been consistently posting for the last 3 years! In the short span of time I've been here, there have been a few spats to say the least - with a few established members leaving for good and others being banned, etc..
Therefore it is some achievement to see someone like yourself who has stood the test of time. Thats real consistency.
I also find your posts really well balanced and well thought out. And best of all you're always able to have a laugh at yourself - a mark of a man who is so self assured that he doesn't have to prove anything to anyone.
I salute you Sir!
P.S. While that is a really sexy bum on your new avatar - I really liked the previous Richard Burton picture. I thought it really suited your personality.
