So, I've been lurking around for a while, and I've absolutely loved the sense of community on this forum. I've been a member of so many internet communities (term used very loosely...) and I've never witnessed the genuine human side of community I've seen here on HammockForums.

I would like to thank PapaSmurf, BrianWillan, and MedicineMan, especially, for their personal generosity towards me and to all members of of HF who make this community welcoming to all.

I know it's not much, but I'm skipping my next two weeks "eat out" budget so I can change my ID from blue to green, tonight.

I look forward to meeting many of you all in Linville Gorge in October and hopefully more of you at other group hangs n the future. Thanks again for being such an awesome group!!
