Motivational Poster Thread (warning content)

I would have never imagined I could become close friends with people I only know online. But after being here from the start I have several that I feel as close to as anyone in the "real" world. I was fortunate to meet several monkeys FTF over the years. But several I only know from here. Many aren't around much, if at all. Melbo, Clyde, Phishi, Quigly, Colt, Tracy. And some have passed on. Righthand, CRC, Ghrit, BT Post. So many others that have come and gone. But of the original core of founders I can truly say, they became fast and lifelong friends, and even family.
