An end of the year Thank You.
« on: December 23, 2008, 08:30:08 AM »
G.B., Bill, thank you for keeping this form and all the forums alive and well.  Being here is always like coming home for Christmas.  Tim, I don't know where you find the time to dig into all the data you have and come up with the right answers.  Both of you have given me enormous help through the last year.

I'd like to be able to thank each and every forum member that has helped me individually.  I'm afraid to try that, because I would forget someone.  There has to be a hundred!

Thank You, all of you.  May your holidays be wonderful and your New Year healthy and prosperous.

God Bless you all,

Thanks,

Pete

In my opinion this site is what it is today basically for two reasons. One is of course the folks who use it and make it the information source it is. The other is the rules which I stubbornly insist be followed. Without rules chaos rules and tho some don't like the rules here I think without them most wouldn't like what this place would become.

Each site on the internet is unique in it's own way and not everyone likes the same things or to have a site run the same way so it's good there are a variety of sites so everyone can find a place they feel comfortable.

Bill,
It's been a number of years now since you gave us a new home and kept us like minded friends together, I sincerely thank you for that.
Tim,
You have done a fantastic job of holding it all together and being the number one go to guy where Handi rifles are concerned. Thanks!

It is Bill's stubbornness by insisting we all stick to the rules of GBO and the many GOOD people that make this site a great one. It is the only one I have joined and spend better than half of my time on the internet right here. I hope I have contributed just a little, because I have certainly taken more than I have given. Merry Christmas to all of my friends I have made on this site. Like Pete, there are just too many to list. Good Luck to all - hope the coming year works better for everyone.

Great topic Pete, thanks for starting it!

Thank you Bill for this web site! It is by far my favorite.

I also want to give tim a special thanks for being so "Quick" with all of his knowledgeable information that he so willingly shares with all of us. Thank you Tim!

Also a big thank you to all of you here that have shared your experiences, tips, hints, knowledge, jokes, hard times, good times, etc., etc. Thank you very much!

Lets all remember the Reason for the Season, Jesus Christ our Saviour!

Merry CHRISTmas and a Happy New Year to all!

And I add my thanks to all as well.  However, when I see how much time I spend logged in to this site, I worry if I spend to much time here and not with my other family.  Nah, I love em both. ;D  Thanks Bill, Tim, you amaze me, Pete, I wish you could learn to like the 45-70 ::). ;D ;D ;D   And everyone else, Thank you for making me feel welcome, hope each of you have a safe and Very Merry Christmas, Amen.  DP

I've only been here a few weeks, but I'm hooked!
Thanks to everyone for the invaluable information here.  It made my decision to become a "handi-holic" an easy one!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, and hopefully this next year will be even better than the last!
