Dear TGR and Fellow Maggots
This is the time of year to give thanks, so here goes. Thank you TGR for hosting this KILLER site, you have helped me through many hours of procrastination when i should have been writing papers. Thanks TGR for helping me extend the deadline for when all my course work will be done. Thank you TGR for helping people of semi like minded sanity (or insanity, all depends on how you look at the glass) have a place to come together to vent, rant, rave, post stokes, rememberances, in memoriums, advice (good, bad or indifferent), help each other lern too spl (akpm, i need your addy so i cen snd u hukd on fonex), be there for one another in times of need, and in general having a place for the miscreants of the snow world.
I am thankful for all the maggots. I am thankful for all the maggots who have helped me out getting gear i so desperatly needed. Thank you maggots who have gone out of your way (and sometimes pocket books) to help other mags out getting hooked up (UAN has one of my votes for mag of the year for all his effort in probably the biggest group buy to date). Thank you too all the mags who have given me advice so i could have heat in the house, make more informed decision's on gear purchases. Thank you to PMgear for working their asses off to help those that have not been able to find the right stix and for pretty much begging for advice as to what makes a good ski. All in all, thank you maggots for being there for me and for all the others on here and creating what is probably the best and tightest community on the net, where else are people willing to go out on a limb for someone they don't know and offer to pretty much go to jail (bag-o-markers beat down bag) for someoene they have never met to ensure a mag gets their gear and/or their money back (good luck invaderski) and for the love you people show for even those you don't know no matter how much of a hard ass and/or how cool you are-where else could 2 people who got TOTALLY jacked by some slime ball end up with new gear and little to no cost and where else on the net, let alone anywhere do you know someone who has almost nothing and needs new gear be willing to give that up in order to help a family who has lost EVERYTHING...
Happy holidays to all and your loved ones and PLEASE, be safe throughout the rest of the season. Think twice to make sure that KILLA line is really worth it, I REALLY don't want to have to help with a search and rescue of anyone, let alone a fellow mag.
THANK YOU ALL
Sincerely
Eric
