I'd like to thank a few people....
First, I'd like to thank Ed. The site looks GREAT, it works GREAT, and he's still making periodic updates to make it even better. We owe you so much more than you'll ever be paid for the project.
Second, all those others who have contributed to the "nuts-and-bolts" of making the site work. People who contributed ideas, people who tested, the
NAS Administrators, etc. I know there are many I am not even aware of, and I appreciate you all.
Third, a special thanks to Stefan. When things went bad at
ASO, we had another place to go with a forum up and running literally within an hour or two. No hesitation to put it on his own server, he just stepped up and did it.
Fourth.... Vic. He does the Daily without fail every day and it's always high quality. It undoubtedly brings a lot of people to the site.
Fifth, thank you to our unbelievable community. That first day, we passed the
URL around to each other by e-mail and we brainstormed to see who had e-mail addresses of others and to make sure we didn't miss anybody. It was an awesome experience to be a part of, and still is. I've donated to
NAS a few times, but I also know there are some who have gone
WAY above and beyond the call and we wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for them. And all those who contribute to discussions, information, and photos here make it a place we all want to visit.
And lastly, believe it or not, I want to thank Monique, Paulo (posthumously, "an amazing pilot"), PanAmDC10 (or whoever came up with the plan for MADASS*), and especially Ted. Not that I would piss on Ted if he was on fire, but I thank him for being the (redacted) he is, unifying us, and setting us on the course that led us to where we are today.
