Reconnoitring exact date/month and year... Heck, this excellent group is like home away from home for me and I'd like to know when to toast the forum's creator!

If I may suggest, we all need a reason to have a drink at some point. This might be 5pm or even 9am. When ever it is, go ahead and make a toast everyday. More toasts, more fun.

I too wish to thank Bill for making this happen. Great resource.

It would be neat to understand the histor a bit more. Ive been a member since 2002 with a few gaps when I didnt visit the site much at all. As I recall, it was associated with some shop in GA for a while, then the name changed, most recently Phil retired. Would be neat to have some key points in the site/board's history put up somewhere.
