Welcome to you both. It's great to hear from you, and I would encourage you both to put in an appearance in RinkChat sometime. Unlike most Internet chat rooms, this one contains correctly spelled words and, on occasion, faint glimmers of intelligence. Evenings are usually when it is most active.

It's funny to hear you say you've been around for "at least ten years." It's funny because it's NOT funny. RinkWorks is, indeed, ten years old, eleven next month. (Pea Soup is only eight years old, but never mind.) But one time I got a very memorable email from someone who said, "I found your site YEARS, and I mean it must have been 10 years ago." At the time I received that email, RinkWorks was only three.

So now I see almost the same words, and they're not funny anymore. But it doesn't feel to me like RinkWorks is very much older. My memories of its earliest days still seem much too fresh.
