Thank you for this thread, Jazzo. Like many of you, I had a hard time deciding just what experience to single out as the best or most memorable, so I won't even try. Here are a few of the times I remember the most fondly:

-Bobyoungbalt's warm welcome on the day I registered
-wow teaching this supposedly computer-literate youngster how to cut and paste
-Uncle Bill teasing me about my "callipygy"
-Capital Kiwi's hilarious stories and wonderful travel diary-- you get the vote for my all-time favorite post: http://216.12.219.209/board/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=miscellany&Number=21510 (posted during the Great tsuwm Kidnapping Conspiracy)
-many more that I don't have room for!

Thanks to Anu for creating this magical place, and to all of you for making it so much fun.
