"Workin' hard fer yer amusement."-MIke

And we so very much appreciate it. TOP is one of the very few sites I log into every day to benefit from the insights, experience, knowledge and wisdom of our editor and community-at-large. Compared to other photography forums, many of which are marked not only by passive aggressiveness, but outright aggressiveness, TOP is a veritable breath of fresh air.

Can't tell you how much I enjoy it. Like an online version of going for ice cream.

[Lynn]

Ha! I agree with Mike's ice cream remark.

Now, if only you had a dollar for each comment...

[MikeR]

A big "thank you," Mike.

And I can't agree with them more. Really appreciate it.

And many thanks to you, Mike!

"Der" Management? If that was supposed to be German, it actually has to be "das", which is the neutral definite article where "der" is masculine. If otoh it's just a local dialect expression, hey, don't mind me.

[Management is definitely masculine. Well, and canine, but she's just for company. --Der Mike]

fwiw, yer hard work is well appreciated.

And here's to the next 150,000...

And a very big THANK YOU for being here and doing this, Mike. It is MUCH appreciated!

Big, big thanks to you, Mike. This is the ONLY website which I never fail to check on a daily basis.

BTW, Frank is right about "das Management": http://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/Management (see table on the right, for Nominativ/Singular)

But it should also be noted that, in German, lack of gender does not always equal "neutral" (and thus "das")... cf. "die Sonne" (the Sun) and "der Mond" (the Moon), or "der Regen" (the Rain) as quoted by Twain in "The Awful German Language" some 134 years ago.

Methinks Mr. Mike is suggesting we click on more sites to encourage more currency of the realm to his pockets. No problem.

However one does have to wonder where it all
goes...mind he has a son in university, he has a house & perhaps a mortgage, he has a LuLu of a dog. As with many of us his income has to stretch farther than it was ever intended to do in previous times. In short he is working harder for his money and perhaps receiving less that anticipated. Like many of us; therefore click in the upper right more often and make Mike Happy.

thank you Mike.

[Michael Bearman]

Thanks Mike for the site and the moderation. Your is the ONLY blog where I read comments at all, and then I tend to read them all. So thanks to everyone commenting too.
