I literally registered to this site eight years ago today, when I noticed the date and my post count I had to write something!

Four months into being registered here I responded to an invite for a GTG and attended my first Purists gathering. It was at the Rainbow Grille in NYC, the restaurant now carries a different name (Bar 65) but here was the view from the 65th floor as we entered the restaurant.............



That night most of the Purist team was in town from California so I got a chance to meet many of them along with nine to ten other people. We all had such a great time that night and to me what makes this site so special is that eight years later I am still in contact with five of those people from that GTG and three of them are among my closest friends. 

Over the years that have followed I have made so many great friends through this hobby and this site. The amount of knowledge I've picked up along with the all the good times I have had with the people here are too many to count. Thanks to everyone who contributes to this great site..................Now its on to 2000 posts, hopefully I can get there in less than eight years!

Tony

. . . "it's the first million that's tough". Always good to see a fellow Glashütte admirer here, Tony. Best, Art (Btw, Scott D is still a neighbor of mine, at least when he's in California. Florida is where he spends much of the time now.)

We'll meet one day. And, indeed, that your 2000th will come faster. It is people like you who makes this place so great to be and to live with. Thank you. Nicolas

Tony, I know you virtually and your contribution is not measured by post counts. Better the few thoughtful posts and real neighbourhood GTG action than a million Instagram Likes or Tweets. Regards, MTF
