An introduction from Steve, the new owner of XMTS

[cavscout]

Congratulations Steve! Here's to us

Here's tae us
Wha's like us
Damn few,
And they're a' deid
Mair's the pity!

May those who live truly be always believed,
And those who deceive us be always deceived.
Here's to the men of all classes,
Who through lasses and glasses
Will make themselves asses!

I drink to the health of another,
And the other I drink to is he
In the hope that he drinks to another,
And the other he drinks to is me.

Then let us toast John Barleycorn,
Each man a glass in hand
Andy may his great prosperity
Ne'er fail in old Scotland!

Congratulations from member no. 132 according to the member's list - since 13 May 2004.
I'm convinced this great forum is in good hands.

PS. Did you know that more than 25% of the members (excluding those with N/A) have been visiting the forum within this month and that more than half of them have been logged in at least once since April.

Where did you find that member number?

Congrats, Steve. I think you will need a bigger coffee cup from now on.

[David Dalglish]

Does that mean that we have to call you "Sir" from now on. Well done Steve.

This is great news Steve.

Chrystel joins me in sending our warmest congratulations to you.

As I told Glen last year, we would love to be full time top advertisers here on XMTS.

If you come up with any new advertising policies, similar to some existing on other forums,

we would be more than happy to collaborate. Feel free to contact us any time.


Cheers to you (raising a mug full of coffee)

Robert & Chrystel

Hey Steve,

Congrats from #25... Thanks for taking the helm, and thanks to Hank for getting the forum started way back when.

Where did you find that member number?

I simply counted after sorting for join date.
Some, having joined earlier than me might in the meantime have cancelled their member ship, of course, but never mind.

Greg.

Well done, Steve, congratulations.

Curmudgeonly? Hmm. I met (and observed) you in Palm Springs and well, you may come off as a curmudgeon to some, but you come at it from knowledge and expertise and I respect that. I've learned a lot from you and from many others on this site and look forward to many more years of learning.

Thanks to Hank for getting us started. Thanks to the mods for keeping us focused. And thanks to everyone else for their contributions.
