5 Years already?
May 27, 2015 I registered here at AAPK.
I really didn't post much the first couple of years.
Then jerryd (I think it was Jerry) made a comment about people getting more involved with comments and conversations. That is, after all, what keeps an on-line forum going. I thought, ya know, for a Marine, he's pretty sharp. So I jumped in and started getting more involved.
As a result, I've made quite a few good friends, not only here in the US, but around the world!
And I've learned a lot, too. And not just about knives. The knowledge base here is amazing!!
Thanks to all who keep this place alive and kicking by posting!
And Jerry, a special thanks to you for the push to post more

Re: 5 Years already?
Most days you're just cruising' along and never think about whether you are making any difference on the forum or in the world. Then up pops a guy like Steve who says, "I read and heard your message and it's true". That's a pretty good feeling. Thanks for the pat on the back Steve (it's not at all what I'm here for) and thanks for hanging on to help make AAPK what it is. For a Zoomie, you're not so bad yourself.

Congratulations Steve! Time flys when you're having fun doesn't it? I'm coming up on my fifth in December as well. It's great having you and all the other folks here to talk knives with.

Thanks fellas! It'd be great if I could personally shake everyone's hand and sit down to chat over a cold one.
