That's tremendous!! What a milestone for Epoman, Susie, Sluff, Karol, and all the rest who have made this happen.

And now, a completely unsolicited pitch...if you use IHD every day like I do, consider becoming a premium member...it's reasonable and helps pay the freight for this ever-growing train. Think about it....

Goofynina and Epoman - Gone But Not Forgotten

WWW
« Reply #12 on: May 31, 2008, 12:18:48 PM »
I am here in the hospital being nebulized and intravenousized and medicated so you will understand my fragile emotional state.  Thoughts of how Epoman would have been bragging and Goofynina would have been rejoicing are just overwhelming me.
I think about how he used to repeat over and over that the things he put in place were to make sure that IHD continued after his death.  And we are seeing it work out.  Look at how he roped in Rossman who is now able to update our software.
And I can't start naming people, or I would be sure to leave out someone, but I want to thank especially those who have joined since Epoman's death and have fallen in with the spirit of this site and are making a tremendous contributions.   
Let us all just keep on keeping on!!
