Why is PA the friendliest place on the web?

Well I'm meeting Man-Erg and Postingismylife in April, at the VdGG gig at Barbican.  If anyone else is going to be in attendance, then there is a chance of meeting you there.

But Prog Archives is my 'Freudian sofa' and my psychological mirror  so in the end I came back because it's such a great place to meet fellow progheads, to join threads, to write reviews and to hail the Mellotron  And in fact every I learn as much on Prog Archives from myself as during my work as a psychiatric nurse  !

You can be replaced.

He certainly used to have at Didcot; we used to work on his big boy together occasionally... so did Vicky! Sometimes there were anything up to 15 of us at it at the same time - once, we spent a whole week doing nothing but stripping down, ready for a bloody good service!

Neil's going to kill us, isn't he?

No saddletank, I'm afraid... I think he actually has a tender behind

I came here looking to find more about prog, and I did (and still I'm learning more), but I also found the Velvet Room and so many friends as well.

What started out as an experiment to enhance my hobby, has turned into something I never expected. I have never been a member of any forum, nor did I desire to be, but I had so many questions. So, almost a year ago, I joined up, and look at me now. This has been a great experience, and continues to be. The caliber of the people around here is exceptional. I have had many great exchanges here. Some of the most beneficial ones were arguments. That is how I met one of my best friends here (and wound up on the Symphonic Team ). There are also many others that I consider friends here. I didn't think it was possible to make real friends in cyberspace, but thank fully, I have been proven wrong.

To you all.

And

              

And a special one for Stonie, for starting this thread.
