Replying to A Salute to Newschoolers - Read and Contribute

my tag is Triple_Strum, but my name is Russell. I've been on NS for three years now - member 20K something. I am not the oldest vet, but I have enjoyed NS as much as anyone over the past three years, and hopefully contributed a bit as well.

Anyway, I wanted to say thanks to the guys who were the original nerds who started this site and keep it running day after day. I have posted pics, a couple of videos (anyone remember my tandem-ski?), bought and sold a lot of things, and learned lots about skiing and ski equipment in the meantime. It has been a fun release from being serious (I am an 8th grade teacher - stress comes quickly and in large quantities :) It has provided me with gear and information I could have never found elsewhere considering I live in Virginia. So, if NS has been good to you, say so here. This is not the place for comments about what could be improved or things that annoy you or comments towards anyone else, but simply thanking the people who run the site and encouraging them to keep up the good work. Let's have positive posts like this make it to 5 or 6 pages instead of battles and arguments. Thanks NS, Bishop, Harvey, cko, and the rest of the people that got is started and keep it going.
