Wow! And I didn't even have a speech prepared.
First of all... let me say congratulations to Pops. He knows way more about meat than I likey ever will. I'm honored to be added to the Squires list along side you.
Secondly, thank you to erain...I very much appreciate this nomination. It is because of you and the help you've shown me that I do feel an obligation to help others where and when I can. And more sometimes more importantly, to shut up when I don't.
Thank you also to DanMcG, cowgirl and grothe, for the seconds and for all the nice words from everyone else.
I do hope to be an OTBS Member. I would consider it an honor. I know I still have lots to learn. But thanks to this forum I'm learning more everyday. And when appropriate, I do my best to help others. Whether admitted or not, I enjoy my time here (sometimes like an illness) and will continue to to be the same pain in the butt, but hopefully interesting poster that I have been from the beginning.
Again, thanks to erain and all my other brethren at the SMF.
