You're welcome, Scott. Thanks for your very kind, generous words. I'm glad that you persevered with this project, despite the level of frustration I perceived from you at various times.

I raise my glass to you, too. Not only to thank you for making this idea become a reality, but more importantly, for the friendship and respect you've shown me in recent times. We had a volatile relationship for some time on Jazz Corner, to say the least, but we've turned a corner, and that feels good.

He's the thorne on the side of failure

Don't be silly. You're not indebted to me for anything.

Our special friendship, born from an online jazz forum, is an amazing thing in itself. I cherish it.

Thanks for your kind words, as always, Valerie.

Respect for Ron is always implied with the "Father" honorific.

Another shout out to Father Thorne as well as to Scott. Youse guys did a stupendous job with this site. Feels very familiar, like old times. It's much appreciated.

Thanks, Jimmy. You're welcome. Glad to see you here, pal.

That honorific was bestowed upon me many years ago by Lois Gilbert. And, I was honored.

Dirt & I do share some things in common, however.

Hey Ron, in addition to Scott, thanks to you and Justin and Ms. Lois too!

You're welcome. It's been a pleasure to contribute what I can to this new board.

His kindness.
His sensitivity.
His sense of humor.

When I grow up (which may not ever happen) I want to be Ron Thorne.

I think I'm gonna hurl!

But first, a trip to the dentist. Yeah, that'll make Fadda feel just ducky.

Later,

COF

That reminds me, I like him for his dental hygiene.

I like the Alaska stuff.

(Just thought I'd throw in a straight answer. And it seems like the right thing to do, since I don't know the guy.)

As long as I've read his missives he's never been aggressive.

I dunno, King Stoner. Seems like you're taking too much credit for Ron's disposition.

Scott, your "malignment" of Ron re the pm was cute but please don't drag it out cause it ceases to be amusing.

I agree with all the complimentary remarks about Ron listed above. did anyone list "patience"? I know Scott is kidding but he's just carrying it too far.

compared to the rest of us around her, Ron is a damn saint!! LOL

Yes!

Scott, you quoted a private message, which is against the forum rules. You're banned.

I've met Ron Thorne and believe me, he's no Jack Kennedy. Hell, he's not even a Dan Quayle.
