...I would like to thank the academy... : ) I stand on the shoulders of giants...all of the really great posters who bring such great knowledge (you know who you are). I try to not be too much of a curmudgeon, but will (as you know) speak up when something really bugs me. Someday I might even finish writing up a post on watches and typography and dial layout, the only things I really know anything about. Thanks, Dr. I will try to look you up the next time I'm in LA...would love to lose a game or

Does the forum have anniversary gifts for members 😜? Eg. 10-yr get a Casio, 15-yr get a Seiko, 20-yr an Omega?

. . . now that the Raiders have first pick in the draft. If anyone's going to break Plunkett's record for Super Bowl rings, it's . . . . . . Fernando. 🏈
