I will probably never meet Simon in person, but I like him nonetheless. I think he's a man of conviction, and cool about it. He doesn't make you feel as if it's his "board" when he posts, respects free speech, and doesn't abuse his authority. I'm sure that running a board such as this requires lots of time, patience, and dedication. The financial rewards are probably minimal if not nil. The man should be respected and appreciated.
So Simon, thanks. You've got an interesting site, the information is diversified, helpful to many, and entertaining.
