It is indeed a humbling experience to realize that in some small
way I've earned the respect and admiration of those in my new family
here at the SMF such that they would wish to induct me into the
"Grand and Illustrious 'Order of the Thin Blue Smoke'"!...
It is with a sense of great humility that I proudly accept the Knighthood
and 'Badge of Honor # 109' conferred upon me as I trod these hallowed
halls and humbly go forth to 'Practice, Defend, and Keep the Faith'!...
I would like to express a humble and heartfelt Thank You to:
Sir Terry, for the nomination and his kind and gracious compliments,
Sir Tim, for his 2nd of the nomination and for his past kind and gracious compliments,
Lady Debi, for her 2nd 2nd of the nomination and her kind and gracious compliments,
Sir Phil, for his 3rd of the nomination and his kind and gracious compliments,
Grand Knight Sir Monty, for bringing the conferring of this title to fruition
and for the wonderful job he does as an SMF Super Moderator,
Supreme Knight Sir Dutch, for making it all possible and for the sometimes
thankless job of SMF Administrator and Super Moderator,
To all those too numerous to mention who PM'ed or eMailed to let me
know of this and without whose input I wouldn't have known,
And to those expressing their congratulations, regards, and best wishes.
To each of you, and you know who you are, Thank You!!
I now go forth to serve...
I remain your humble servant,
