Thought you might chime in, Kirk. To quote you from when you became a moderator in June, 2008 - "I hope to make a contribution towards civility." - Indeed you did, and your five year run was a great contribution to this forum.
All the best,
Merg
Thank you for that Merg. I’m glad I was able to give something back here. Out of frustration, I know I was heavy handed at times. This forum has been an invaluable resource over the years, making LF knowledge much more accessible to me personally as well as others and I have greatly valued that.

Thanks,

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep"
This sneaked right past me!
Thank you Tuan and all the mods!

You should follow my posts more closely, John!
Hope all goes well in Fresno with you, family, and friends.
I think when we first met on this forum, you were perfecting a turkey camera.
Best,
Merg
Happy Anniversary indeed. Thanks for the heads up Merg. My first reaction to fondly remembering QT's early work in aggregating the initial LF resources to share and discuss is to comment how quickly these 25 years flew by. The fact that this resource remains active is amazing. I fondly remember a number of wonderful members we have lost along the way but I look forward to continuing to participate toward the improved knowledge of a whole new set of interested newcomers (and sheet film consumers) and as many trips to the field to make photographs as possible.
Unbelievable! I remember the split from photo.net - we were all dialing in on our 56k baud modems. Or sneaking a peek from the blazing fast T1 connection at work. The split from the other forums was a great escape from the 35mm Nikon v Canon wars. Which still rages today in the digital camera age!
So many great folks and great memories! Here is to another 25 years!
