I will say something about this board (PPOT) and the guys and gals on it, as a whole.

When I need answers to questions or advice on life things, this is one of the first places I come. "Questions" and "life" writ broadly, everything from a stubborn plumbing leak to a family or health crisis.

This is a group of folks who collectively represent a tremendous amount of life experience, achievements, skills, humility, and challenges met and usually overcome. In a nutshell, wisdom. We've most of us been here quite a long time, I know how to interpret and calibrate the comments I get and what responses to take as funnies, which to consider thoughtfully, and which ones to take to the bank.

You are a wonderful and invaluable group, and my life would be much poorer without you.

I can't recall how I stumbled into this group - I guess it was sometime after I got my 911 in the early 2000s - but I'm sure glad I did.
