I'd like to take a moment to celebrate... these message boards were first opened on April 9th, 2003, amidst great, um, excitement. I really appreciate Annette and everyone who worked hard to set it up (all I did was cheer from the sidelines). This has been a wonderful net home for the last six years. And most of the credit for that is due to the high quality of our board members! You guys have been so creative, and energetic, and cheerful, and always, always civil to each other, even in the midst of some heated discussions. That's relatively rare on the Web, and I really appreciate it here.  PJ

He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."

Athos: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly.
Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.

Wow I had no idea that when I joined in Jul of 03 that this board was only a few months old. My how much we have grown. This board has kept me sane many days. Here is too the next 6 year and then some!

This place, by far, is my favorite place to hang out online. That's entirely due to the welcome and supportive environment here. It's not just a message board to me - it's where I know I'll find kindred spirits who never fail to entertain me, make me laugh or make me think. Here's to many, many years of good times ahead. 
Lois: You know, I have a funny feeling that you didn't tell me your biggest secret.
Clark: Well, just to put your little mind at ease, Lois, you're right.

Gee, Pam, how'd ya manage to get them to open the boards on your birthday? You clearly have some pull with the management.  Happy birthday to the ficboards! I am trying to think of an appropriate sixth birthday gift ... AHA! And even Superman-themed: ![[Linked Image]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41NFZM7CH4L._SL500_AA280_.jpg)

Lois: "Never had a need to find out its meaning."
