Ken_Coles Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Seems funny - Paul, we met at 1998 NHICS, right?, which was in mid-September. (The only years I went when it was at Bucksteep were 1997 and 1998.) Your web page had been up for some months - my recollection says a year, but I could be wrong. If I dig around at my other house, I can probably find a printout of it that I made back then. Time for some archaeology. Then again, I could just be getting senile!

Lofty Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Thanks from me too: firstly for setting the forum up and maintaining it, but also for the firm but fair moderation. There have been a few occasions when things were getting a bit out of control, but the moderation has restored decorum promptly.  Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
