From the subdued atmosphere here the last few days I think that the recent events rather took the wind out of some sails. I know that personally I felt the tension as I am sure that others felt it as well.

It is a loss that Hog left....but as Sculpin mentioned....his input and insight will still be communicated.

I would hope that going into 2012 we can regain the momentum and positive communication that I enjoyed about this forum when I first came around a few months ago.

We have a great investment here. Lets rally and be a strong forum....with shared ideas and knowlege....

I for one miss reading the newsy and informative posts.I know that there is not a lot of 'new' news. But discussion of ideas and related news is also communicating.

I hate to see the momentum of this board wane.

long...strong ....going for gold.....
