It’s amazing to me that a community so large can still feel so familiar and friendly. Goodonya, Martin, for doing what no one else on the intarwebs appears to be able to do. And this is just about the only web site for which I have disabled my AdBlock Plus plugin. :-)

You have every reason to be proud today. Enjoy the celebration!

I have been window shopping this site for a few months now and when I saw you were close to 20,000 members I figured it was time to join and push it over the top. This is a great site for insights and inspiration.

Martin…Thank you for your creation. One thought tho…if each of us tell 5 new people…we will soon be at 100,000. What a great site!
