About Me

Let's see: I used to be quite active on Heavy Metal Pro's forums when I discovered the value of Rick Raisley's suite of programs (probably around 1999), though my involvement has dropped off in some years. I've lurked on the various incarnations of the official BattleTech boards for longer than that, only recently becoming active in the community (though I've been around long enough to see my post count started three times with the various board wipes). Before that, there was Sarna and the Usenet, though under a different (and secret) handle.

I have to say, being made an admin by Nic was a nice honor, and I hope to earn the right to 'wear' this UserBar by my future actions here.

Special Thanks

• Nicjansma: Our admin and our host. Thanks for doing this, both with Sarna and BattleTechWiki. The latter has already eaten up a lot of my personal time, but its been fun.

• CJKeys: While I hope BattleTechWiki becomes as big a resource as any for CBT (and its various other incarnations), my faith in its development has been bolstered largely by CJKey's articles for the 'Mechs catagory. They have been well-designed and numerous, which -I think- goes a long way into inspiring others to write similar articles. If it were just Nic and myself at this point, I'd probably feel overwhelmed with what had to be done. Thanks, CJ.

• Jimmy the Tulip: A good bud of mine for several years now, who has stuck around the times o' plenty and the (more common) times of famine. Thanks for coming over here, Jimmy, and adding legitimacy to this project (especially with the Southern Hemisphere crowd).

• Xoid: I don't know him too well, yet, but he's already made his mark upon BTW and taught me some-some with his methods. He has inspired my confidence the quickest I've ever had for someone newly met on the internet, and I hope we can get him to stick around and make this a better place.
