You're very kind...
Thank you very much. It's hard to believe sometimes that I've been around here for over eleven years...for one thing that means I graduated from college over eleven years ago, and I don't like to think about that a whole lot. :-)

There are quite a few of us who've been around that long, though, and who have had the benefit of seeing where this crazy little experiment has ended up. I guess I'm just lucky to have the cussedness and tenacity to see it through. Also, I'm stubborn. :-)

Thanks again - welcome, and happy editing. I hope you enjoy the place as much as I have, lo these many years. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 14:14, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
