I was not here for the inaugural post on this forum, and therefore I'm unsure of its exact beginning date...One thing I am sure of is the identity of our founder, therefore I'm using the date noted on his profile as his join date to say, "Thank you, Cap'n Mike, for giving us this platform to come together, and speak our minds!"......

We will consider this our birthdate here, and today is our coming-of-age date as we are now 21 years old...Throughout the years we may have had our share of squabbles and disagreements, however we still gather here to discuss the events of the day and celebrate those of the past...Cake and refreshments will be served following the scheduled speeches from the usual suspects......Ben
