Hey fella's!!!
Thanks for the compliments but, are'nt we leaving a few names out???
The ones' that come to my mind are Aevald, the other Al: 803056, Chall, GRoberts, Swnorris with his always funny jokes and yet decieving expert knowledge in AWS structural fabrication issues, Js55, CWI555, Lawrence, John Wright, Chet Guilford, and Joe Kane when it comes to matters concerning AWS D1.1 & D1.5, Chall, My friend from across the pond in Germany - Stephan, Pipewelder1999, Professor Giavonni Crisi from a "First World" Country named Brazil, Yorkiepap, Dave Boyer, Brande who has always been there for me, and dbigkahunna with his API Knowledge, Medicine hawk, Bozaktwo1, Thirdeye, Jim Hughes,Tommyjoking, Kix, Bob Gardner, Gndchuck - A.K.A Charles Welch for his amazing looking underwater welding pictures, besides his knowledge & expertise in the subject, Sourdough for his blunt commentary and hardworking ethic that's second to none, and let's not forget one of the most helpful participants in here when it comes to Stainless steel and other materials as well involving their metallurgy, weldability and his way of making sense of it all for us to understand - the honorable Chuck Meadows, and good friend Jon 20013 who's always diligent & helpful when it comes to matters concerning ASME welding codes & standards the same goes for New Tito... Finally, where would we be at times without the help from Ken Coryell, Kip Mankenberg, or Marty Sims, Bmaas, Shane Feder's most interesting experiences from down under as well as Rodofgod's??? I almost forgot one of my favorites who always seems to inject wisdom at times when we could definitely use some: Bill Vanderhoof!!! I still Miss Niekie!!! oh well, I ca'nt remember everybody!!!:( Ohh yeah! Then there's Mblaha, Ron G., Molten Metal, JA who I think is Joseph Austrino or not?, Hogan, texredneck hwo has not been here for quite some time... That's it!! I done trying to include everyone!!! It's just too darn hard for this middle aged memory :(
I'm sure I left a few out but it was'nt intentional Believe me!!! It's more like, that's all my memory can recall these days because if it were 20 years ago, I'd know off the top of my head All of the participant's names in my all-time favorite Welding Forum - The BBS Grand Central!!! Besides, that "Butler" named "Ask Jeeves" does'nt even really exist as a person so how could I even attempt to compete with some of the world's most powerful sets of servers??? I do love using them to their ultimate potential however. ;)
Thanks again but, I respectfully disagree with you... Everyone of the folks I listed above off the top of my head, the one's I apologetically, forgot to mention, and myself are all spokes in this big wheel of knowledge and wisdom which makes this forum the place to go when one seeks answers regarding anything that has to do with the Art & Science of WELDING!!! We all deserve credit for all of our individual contributions here, and is what gives this special place such unity and singleness of purpose!!!
I can go on and on, and start to sound like one of those politician's out there but if I continued eventually, I would start to sound like a salesman selling snake oil to you so you can cure all that ail's you... However, that's NOT my style so, I'll end my post right here, right now!!! :) :) :)
Once again, thanks for the compliments but, the folks I mentioned above?
They all deserve equal billing too, including the ones I somehow forgot to mention. :) :) :)
Respectfully,
Henry
