Same experience

It is funny, since this is my first day of registering and posting after about a year of lucking and browsing. I was convinced to sign up because, everywhere you read, there is a lot of respect for the discipline but also for every other member (maybe one is a consequence of the other, or vice-versa). You don't normally find such an off-the-wall inclusive forum elsewhere. Congratulations on your anniversary, only one day before my birthday!

Five years ago!

 
 By: Ares501 - Mr Green : September 23rd, 2012-01:30
Five years ago I made my first post on PPro after long lurking. OK not exactly 5 years.... 11 days from now. It was 4th of October. Still vividly remember sweating palms while typing. So 5 years and 4000 posts later all I can say is ---- Thank you friends...  

Thanks Damjan!

Hopefully you still get that excitement when you post (and read) but no more sweaty palms... :-) Hope we get a chance to meet in person someday. TM

It's pleasure being here
