This place has been very good to Justin and I. When we started it, this place was exactly what we'd been looking for and it was starting to really take off. There has been a LOT of GREAT stuff passed around in here over the last 3-4 yrs.

When the site went down and the IT guys didn't get it back up for 3 months, it took a lot of the steam out of the engine. Things are different for both of us now...kids, jobs, wives...in short life happens.

Things here just aren't the same and the spam has become unbearable. We'll let things run on to the end of the month then keep an eye out for the mushroom cloud.

The dog world is a small world and most folks are "around," but I just wanted to say thanks to everyone on behalf of Justin and I for a seriously fun little experiment and a hell of a wealth of retriever knowledge getting thrown around from time to time.
