Erik,
As everyone else has already said so well, you will be missed greatly. But for me, I'll also miss the occasional shout out to say hey, if for no other reason then to just break the monotony of the day to day grind, or to just be the one Email where someone DOESN'T complain about something. Yeah, you'll definately be missed!
Philip
Bergie, you are one good Dude and have always acted in a honorable fashion.
I have always enjoyed your comments and interventions and believe you always took the high road.
I for one want to thank you for all you have done to make this forum a safe haven and comfortable place to hang out.
You will indeed be missed,
May the worms and viruses never find your puter. Best wishes always,

Brother Bergie,
You will be greatly missed. Thank you for the encouraging emails as well. But at the same time, I get the feeling that you will still be a member and we'll be fortunate enough that you will still make posts.
May all go well in your new position.
"I like my Pullman Standards & Budds in Stainless Steel flavors, thank you!"
I have seen Taste of Home magazine, didn't realize it had that much going on, but I guess so. Good luck, sounds like you will have all clear signals ahead.
dknelsonRemember Bergie this means that railfanning trips, digital cameras, and the like will no longer be tax deductible after May 4. But maybe all your groceries and a new stove will be! Dave Nelson PS Bergie: Galesburg RR Days is June 26-27 and there will be private cars on the Sandburg

I'll keep writing for the magazines so I can keep those tax deductions in place.
I'm planning on going to Galesburg Railroad Days. Before last week, I was going to be there in the Trains tent with Tom Danneman. Now I might just drive down and meet up with Tom and whoever he takes with him.
Keep in touch, Dave.

Philip, you have no idea how much those e-mails meant to me some days.
As for you, I'll miss your forum signature animation. It's one of the best I've ever seen.
Thanks again,Erik
zardozI would venture a guess that those forums will not get as politically "charged" as they sometimes do here.
Actually, up to thise point they've let people talk about whatever they want. We'll see what we decide to do in the future. I've long believed that people who join a forum about their passion and find friends who share their passtion (in this case railroading or cooking), shouldn't let a personal beliefe that's really no one else's business get in the way of their friendship. People will take cheap shots for our moderation of those topics, but I can sleep pretty well at night knowing that most anyone can join in the discussion here and not feel threatened by a good ol' boys network.
Erik
erikemYou wouldn't be talking about glögg by any chance???
Yep! I told the story about my parent's making it from scratch one Christmas and the fireball that ensued.
(Long story short, to burn off some of the alcohol you have one person both a match next to the pot's lid and a second person slowly lifts the lid. When the varpors/steam from the concoction hit the flame from the match a fireball shots toward the ceiling. To think, our people drink that stuff!)
You just made me add some additional items to the list of things I need to try. Thanks!
Take care and God Bless.
I expect we will continue to see your enigmatic avatar occasionally!
Erik--
Thanks for all you've done here, and best wishes for your new venture!
mersenne6 Manager of the Reader's Digest Forum???? Now that has the potential of being curious in the extreme. The last time I looked at Reader's Digest I noted everything they printed was abridged so I assume you will be responsible for abridging posts to their forum
No, not Reader's Digest. Taste of Home, a magazine and Web site owned by Reader's Digest Association.
Don't think you'll have a chance to starve over there. (Virtual Diner here, real thing there in the test kitchen?)
You will be missed on this forum.Good luck on your new position.
Owned by Readers Digest,huh.Does this mean you will be in charge of removing several ingredients from each recipe?
Drop in sometimes,and enter the photo contest and keep us up to date as to what you're doing.
Just how well do readers digest anyway??? (As opposed to digestion of non-readers...)
Thanks for making this a warm place for kibitzing, Erik. I'm sure your upcoming move is the recipe for success.

I still don't get it...why's he leaving? What did I miss? Who will compete with Mike Yuhas in the photo shoots? I know Mike can win them now, but having no opposition doesn't really mean he'll have a meaningful victory...
The road to to success is always under construction. _____________________________________________________________________________ When the going gets tough, the tough use duct tape.
If you take Beano first, it isn't as bad as you think....
