The ForeForums Secret Weapon

The factory has James Triana as their "irreplaceable resource"

I nominate Barry Beam as our "irreplaceable resource" here on the ForeForums.

Barry comes through so many times for all of us.  He maintains an encyclopedia of information without which we'd all be in deep stuff.

Looking at the number of posts George Stoltz has to his credit, I wonder if he has an infinite number of monkeys with typewriters (update that to computers) in his employ.  Does George have time to sleep?

Well, I had up to 12 monkeys until PETA came along.  Now there is just one (me).  As to sleep.  I am retired.  I get to sleep whenever I need to.

I think all y'all, I'm now a true red neck, are great! I have never been into forums before but this feels like talking with friends. I look forward to meeting you somwhere along the way and sure appreciate all of the information I'm getting. There are some pretty smart folks that own Foretravels.

We would have established permanent residence "up that certain Creek",  and still been looking for paddles, without the kind and timely assistance of the people who post here.  I must also give great thanks to Kent Speers, who is a REALLY good fix-it guy.  Cleverly, we travel with him and his wife Peggy ... our own, personal technical support and amusement team!

Don't pay any attention to Carol. Jeff is the one that supplies all of the amusement. It's worth it to travel with such highbrow entertainment. Ask him how he gets into his "Blow Up Boat". Plus they have adopted our Anatolian Shepard, Trip as their nephew. Do we have a Doggie Photo Album? Trip is one good looking guy!

Kent,

Sure hope you don't post that video of my way to get into a "blow-up boat".  Thought I got rid of the handle "mad dog" when I left the service....would probably get it back....

Like wise I want to thank both Barry's for their incredible knowledge and support to all of us.  I envy both their vast knowledge and their organized ability to retrieve/recall it.  I'm continually struggling with organization.  And mucho mucho mucho thanks to Steve & Michelle for the extraordinary effort they have put into this great forum.  And of course I appreciate the great support of James Trianna.

I've tried to stay mainly in the Tech forums, but I have to say I'm pleased as punch with the new forum. Its stronger than its ever been. Plenty of new members, tons of activity and banter. Great technical discussions in an environment that is not only easy to navigate but I would say the best design and function I've seen.

So welcome to anyone new and howdy to any lurkers. There are no silly questions and join in with a fun, opinionated bunch. We love our Foretravels, our food and drink, and figuring out what to fix next or who does a better job - MOT, FOT, or XP&G...

Dave,

It's posts like yours and all the "attaboys" in the other threads that make every moment of working on this forum worth it.  We have so enjoyed creating a community here and making so many new friends.

THANK YOU!
