Happy Birthday, Queen Debs. Where Would We Be Without You?

I guess you know someone is really special when you can remember thinking, "Who Is This Debs Person?"

After we launched the forums, while they were still young and catching on, Debs, you singlehandedly leapt in and made the forums what they are today. I remember calling you on the phone, wondering who this amazingly helpful person is...

"OK who are you and what do you want?"

I knew something was not normal when you answered...

"My name is Debs and I come in peace."

Seriously, what an amazing ride it's been. The forums are THE most amazing place on the Web due to the culture you and the moderators inculcate day in and day out. And we've had a chance to spends 5 days in Chicago and a nice dinner in Manhattan since then. And a week in the Caribbean soon! :-)

It's rare to meet someone who lives up to the high virtual pedestal we put others on. But there you are, you certainly did.

Happy birthday, Queen Debs. Long may you reign!

All the best,
Ken

P.S. to Wendy -- well done on the page! A hoot!
