Between his comment in the Texas Raiders collision thread and the recent technical issues with the website I was reminded how much Scott does to keep this forum running. I realized that I was taking its continued existence and upkeep for granted. It's a big task and I know he's a very busy man who doesn't always have a whole lot of free time to spend, so I just wanted to take a moment to stop and say thanks for wasting it by giving us a place to express our poorly formed opinions or post walls of text about worthless minutiae...

Seriously, though, I've interacted with a lot of good people and learned many fascinating historical details I wouldn't have had WIX not existed. Thank you Scott for everything you do! :drink3:

It never costs anything to say "Thank you" to people and they appreciate it!
Thanks for all you do Scott, so a bunch of airplane geeks can ramble on and on :D
:drink3:

Andy Scott

Whos Scott Rose, any relation to Axl ??

No I'm joking, love this forum, nothing else quite like it on the net that I know of.
Especially for us non social media guys, forums are essential.

I agree, Scots work and contribution to the site is invaluable. I tagged along when the site was moved from the initial WIX-board to the current one. I don't contribute much but I visit on a more or less daily basis.

Whenever you end up in Sweden :drink3: the beer is on me!

You and WIX have been putting the warbird "thanks" in my Thanksgiving for many moons.
