It was Shamus who invited me to take on a moderator position on The-Gauge.
I honestly can't remember exactly when I first found The-Gauge, but the date January 19th 2002 seems to be familiar, I just can't believe I have been part of this board that long !
I have found inspiration here. I have learned a lot of things here. I have met friends here, and been to their homes to see what they have done.
Had a rattlesnake bash its head against a window, trying to bite me, at a house in Arizona !
Met Mikey, at a National Train show in Philadelphia, while I was there with GCLaser.
Visited Tyson Rayles, on my way to a crew reunion in Charleston.
Met several other members at Trainfest in Milwaukee.
Spent an evening with jglfan, in Boonton N.J., on one of my trips back East.
We are Big Blue now, not The-Gauge, but we are still one of the best boards on the "net", because we have the best members.
"Five years of the Blues" just goes to show that people can get together and accomplish great things!
For that I have to thank all the members, you make Big Blue what it is!

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
