Agreed with Sluff. I've only been here for less than 4 years, but there's been a lot of change. Some excitement, some idiots, many good stories, and some sad, and the loss of some dear folks still keenly felt, like epoman himself, goofynina and others. All have contributed to the community in some way or another - and it's what makes this site a great place.

Happy Birthday IHD :)

Happy Birthday to IHD and Epoman’s idea
to give ESRF-patients a chance to exchange experiences
with other ESRF-patients on the Internet.

Thanks to all contributors and Moderators

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, IHD!!!! :birthday;
We have come a long way.  I am so thankful for Epoman's vision.  And I can't help feeling sad that he is not here to see the growth.  Let us all keep on keeping on.  Accentuate the positives: eradicate the negatives.
A big hug to all my IHD family :grouphug;

Thank you to Epoman - who I was not fortunate enough to meet - and thank you to our wonderful moderators, who keep this place going through a labor of love! I wonder if you guys can truly understand the impact you've had on so many lives.

To many more years!
