I want to say thank you both for such kind words, speaking for myself - it is an honor to sit here today and see that such a community has grown and it serves a great purpose of knowledge and friendship. I never asked for more and I surely am blessed to see both thrive here.

I hope the other mods respond, all of which should take a bow on occasion, the work that YOU DON'T SEE because it isn't necessary for you to be subjected to the darker elements which sometime slips into our boards are caught, reeled-in and filletted by these eagle eye staffers who I put much faith into and more importantly call my friends.

I'd suggest to both of you that the future will be brighter still as we grow and new feature come to pass. We are indeed into the Entertainment again - although our foum uses more of the previous era's communication age - slowly we will see the two unite as Video Content of members working their bees, home made instructions on woodworking and extracting make it to the forum and so much more.

Lastly, on a personal note, it has been a couple of tough weeks mentally here for me, nothing to heavy from the forum - just life testing my mind to see if I have the strength of will-power to handle trying times which still lie ahead. My own health is relatively great, it is constantly seeing a loved one dealing with real issues, often back to back issues that try our spirits. Recieving this post cheered a special place in my heart up, one which surely needed a lift - thank you both.

Many thanks from this new-bee as well.  Because of your forum, I have been able to learn a ton about beekeeping much more quickly and been exposed to many different ideas which I am incorporating into my new hobby.

I've had experience moderating forums, blogs, and websites, and it really is a lot of work, often very tedious, especially when dealing with spammers and other hurtful behavior.  But as a result of your work, this forum is very helpful, especially to new-bees.  Thanks again!

John, now isn't that nice what you said, thank you.  I wish for you to continue with strength as you have in your life.  Strength comes from within, we must only reach in to bring it out.  Best of the days.  Cindi
