This time of year has a lot of different meanings for many people. Our entire world celebrates this time, regardless of religion or ethnic background. When all is said and done, we are but one people who inhabit this wonderful planet.
Wether you celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanza or just the dawning of a new year, you are amongst friends.
The community that has developed here is perhaps my greatest accomplishment. With the help of Spark and the moderators, we have developed a on-line community, which is in my mind, perhaps reminiscent of small towns in the 50's. We now have over 190,000 posts, 4,300 members, and thousands of lurkers who all look to this sight for information on a subject we all share and love.
It can be said that knives are nothing more than steel and other materials. Yet man's oldest tool has captured our imagination, and has propelled us into a symbiotic relationship in which we all help each other gather knowledge.
My goal for this site is simple.
To provide each of you a place to come and talk about a subject we all share in common. I have learned so much from all of you, much more than I could ever teach. This site is a monument to what can be done when great people with a common interest get together and share knowledge. All I have done is provide the medium to which you all can share that common interest.
I do not have many close friends. Being an entrepreneur is not an easy task and it calls for much sacrifice. My life is consumed with goals and I am a workaholic. As evidenced by my posts, you can see that I am up a very strange hours, working and building what I believe to be my future. I am not certain what the future holds, but I do know that I have met many people here, and I consider all of you my friends. If a man is measured by the friends he keeps, then I must be one hell of a man. You guys and gals are great, and I thank each of you for being a very big part of my life. Regardless of what my future holds, I know that this time will always be remembered as the perhaps the best part of my life. Thank you.
The next year will provide many new features here at BladeForums. The new on-line magazine is just the newest feature we will provide. I have many ideas, and I will explore each of them to and see what we can do to make BladeForums THE #1 source for knife information. The next year will be a fun ride, I hope you join me.
From my family to yours, I wish each of a very safe, happy and prosperous new year.
