Jim, for me it is 18 years, since 1996, when I found Big A.  It was a great
grief when I thought I "lost" you all, only to find you in my "forums"
category on Google (didn't even know it was there!).  I have great
gratitude for my friends here, and all you've seen me through, as well.  It
has been a very good run, indeed.
