I just noticed that "samclem" turned 10 years old yesterday. Kinda sobering--that time really flew.
When I first logged on I was nearing retirement from the military and contemplating a part time ESR gig for a few years. OMY syndrome grabbed me, and now it has been 10.
I sometimes feel a bit guilty about my time here. I can plop down in the chair, log in here (usually my first stop) and see what is new, check my emails, go to a few other regular haunts, then come back here and find new stuff of interest. Rinse and repeat and it can go on for a LONG time. But I've learned a lot, I do change my mind about things after reading the viewpoints of others, and it's fun--so all I now need is a dignified name for it so I can properly call it a hobby.
Thanks to all for a decade of interesting and useful conversation, and to all who have suffered through samclem's (rare!) crotchety moments.
