A lot of you don't hear scott mentioned much.  he is our youngest son and a brilliant electrical engineer.  he is also a captain in the USAF and while the site was having problems he was trying to help me while he worked 18 hours at his day job on a special assignment friday.  and....he is our master webmaster.  he built our site/forum and does the routine maintenance on it as well as is one our admins.  i can't thank scott enough for all he does for newellgurus, but more so for being a great son.  

he spent his entire saturday today rebuilding our server and getting us going.  

there are still picture files being migrated back to our new server that will be completed sunday sometime.

we are not a professional gang here that run the forum.  we just do the best we can for the least amount of money and time that we can.  it is a labor of love.  thankfully scott is incredibly smart on this stuff.  

i also want to thank my dear friends and forum supermoderators and admins who do alot of the behind the scenes work in researching and approving new members of the forum as well as keeping a watchful eye on content.  Michael Day, Forest Olivier and Clarke Hockwald.  we are a G rated forum and thanks to all of you for keeping it that way.  i would have no problem having my 9 year old grandson read our forum and we all know that many forums get pretty crude....but not us.  thanks for that.  

i got many many emails from you guys asking about the forum being down.  thanks for checking with us.  

later

tom

My thanks to you and Scott and all the moderators and all the knowledge the forum has. 
You guys have saved my ... "content", bacon many times.
