scubaboard has meant the world to me. suthnbelle welcomed me to sb so heartily, and introduced me to my dive buddies 'in real life' jason b, bobby f, and the truly wonderful crew at ncdivers. they are great divers, thoughtful posters, careful mentors, and sensitive friends under the fun. they have been so wonderful to me and my teeny baby that it will *always* make me teary and thankful to have them.
on sb, there are huge numbers of folks that i read with relish, whether because they are intelligent thinking divers, or doing and describing dives i want to do, or talking about stuff i've never heard of, or just because they're funny.
thanks to everyone for being here. this board has immeasureably enriched my life, both directly and indirectly.
