    Default Six years old today.

    I just realized when I looked at the date for The World Champs tomorrow, that I joined the Drome six years ago today.
    I think this calls for a libation.
    To the bar chaps. Drinks are on me.

    Congratulations WingCo!

    SIX YEARS, wow, that's an extended tour if ever I heard of one.

    Thanks for the offer of a quick snifter - I'll have my usual Brandy, if you please!

    Here's to the next six years

    I would say "don't worry, it'll be over by Christmas", but that probably doesn't sound too reassuring....

    Well done, Rob! (and David!)

    Six years is a rather long time - and I'm in awe of the number of posts you've racked up, Rob - THAT speaks to your involvement and value to 'all things WoW/G'...as someone opined earlier, this place wouldn't be the same without you.

    All the best,
    Matt

    Congratulations David as well! It takes a great WingCo to bring up and protect such a skillful pilot, but staying active for so long is an individual virtue!

    Congrats Rob! As other have said, the site would not be the same with out you. I'm looking forward to the days when you have to pull your shoes off to count the years you have been with us!

    Every site owner looks forward to the day when some of it's members surpasses him as the face of the site. I saw that coming from you many years ago and to this day you have not disappointed. It will truly be an honor to finally meet you next week.
