Vinman is a total star IMO. He freely gives his expert advice to us in Gimp central in what is probably his leisure time. He takes time to read the posts and comes back with excellent and up to date information. We should all be very grateful for what would probably be expensive online consultations, if we paid the going rate.

Props to Vinman
Monty Python's version of the cougar phenomenon:
"This is a frightened city. Over these houses, over these streets hangs a pall of fear. Fear of a new kind of violence which is terrorizing the city. Yes, gangs of old ladies attacking defenseless, fit young men".

Vinman totally cured my herpes. That's how good he is.

Vinman rocks!
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "Wow, what a Ride!"

Who knew a swift kick to the nuts could cure herpes?

Vinman delievered my firstborn child in a mazda miata, top down, going 80 mph through rutland VT, with three cops chasing us for speeding. The procedure went flawlessly.
Props to Vinman.Drive slow, homie.

Vinman is probably the greatest resource on this board. The advice is given freely and patiently. Thanks.

I concur with Mrs. Roo on Vinman's giving demeanor on the board. He really knows his stuff.

Vinman is vastly overrated and has caused me a great deal of pain. One time, I stubed my toe on his stairs, then not five minutes later, his three legged dog stepped on my toe. I'm pretty sure he set it all up.
Actually, you deserve the props Vin. Hopefully I'll ditch my current bad attitude and get up there a few times in March.

Vinman invented sexual intercourse, the bolt action rifle, and football.
Seriously, read a lot of good advice.
Thanks.There's nothing better than sliding down snow, flying through the air

Intelligent chap, he is. But he has no clue how to operate the tubular magazine, during a rabbit massacre. Originally Posted by foxy

As somebody who is both frequently gimped and often receives spot on advice from Vinman, I will also like to add my VM gratitude.
