My dear friends and colleagues!
This is nothing more than my very own first personal impression, but please allow me to admit first of all!
14 days of vacation (almost no welding - just have read the July Welding Journal - but only my wife and son) and coming back now to the forums let me think that I am truly getting old.
The amount of information that has been stored here within this short time range let my tiny head formally explode!
I guess it will take weeks to months to read all the topics before I will be able to try to humble contribute to anything and as I suppose (the forum never sleeps) you won't stop to discuss the secrets of welding while I am reading all that what you have already written up to now. So apparently I am having a problem. Due to I can not return in time I guess I will never have the chance to have both the full access to all what you have contributed and to participate simultaneously to what you are intending to contribute further.
However, as the first "official" response to the forum it is crucial for me to wish Chuck Meadows all the very best for his further and complete recovery!
Best to Chuck and to you all,
Stephan
