    So, I think I may have had the quietest 200 posts in the history of OF. I will say, in my sheepish defense, that I have tried to make up for my lack of knowledge, and thus contributions, with an abundance of good manners, appreciation and humor......and according to your responses (or lack thereof), I succeeded in the first two and apparently failed to even register on the third (to say I failed would be giving me too much credit)!

    I also took care to intersperse my inept humor with pictures. I quickly realized (you are pretty good coaches in this regard) that pictures are appreciated. I understood early that I should balance my "taking" from this forum with a few pictures now and then in order to keep myself in karmic balance.

    I guess what I really want to say is THANK YOU Omega Forums and its members! Before I stumbled across this place, I had logged exactly zero posts on any internet site (ever!) and, now......emboldened by my new found "voice" on OF, have still had no such break-throughs on any other watch forum (TRF, WUS, SCWF, etc.). This place is different. No other site is as friendly.... user-wise......members-wise...... or otherwise, than OF. I feel very spoiled to have found this place.

    I appreciate all of you very much......as my wife refers to you...."my watch friends"!

    Roll (small select set of) credits.........

    Thank you Speedbird for selling me my first OF watch (taken during my Erpin Photo days)

    Thanks. Was going to refer to it as "Artsy and Staged" so DarlinBoy would approve.......

    What a finely constructed and thoughtful testimonial - I imagine you have inadvertently spoken for a number of OF participants, including me , so thanks and here's to the next 200 for you

    How very nice! You certainly have not had the "quietest" 200 posts, but perhaps the least obnoxious. Keep it up! :)
