    Default Honour Roll - Most Helpful Members

    Good Morning

    Over many years I have received a tremendous amount of help from many members on this Forum. Some members names just keep cropping up, repeatedly offering sage advice, sharing their experiences readily. This Forum is great, because those members make it so....

    I would like to suggest that we acknowledge and name our most helpful members.... sort of an honour roll ... those that provide a consistent volume and quality of help.

    Realising that if I tried to name all who have been especially helpful to me then I would inadvertently miss someone, so I will start with a short starter list:
    • Derek,
    • IanW,
    • Ian (now from Canada),
    • BobL, and
    • Elan.


    Please feel free to add the names of your assisters.

    Graeme, you are more than kind. I insist on including your name. You have provided me, personally, with so much objective and insightful feedback, along with inspiring suggestions, and been a good mate. Thank you.

    I will say the same for others mentioned here. Thanks.

    Regards from Perth

    Definitely no arguments about any of those names.

    Thanks guys,

    I reckon Malb has also provided lots of help over the years.

    Then there's also a bunch of members that contribute regularly by welcoming and helping newbies with basic forum operations etc
    Members like Artme - and talking of Artme I notice he hasn't been on since March - anyone know why?

    To paraphrase you, Derek, "...you are more than kind....". Over the years I have been much more a seeker and recipient of advice and assistance, than a contributor.

    Assuming that you are referring to Crowie, I concur.

    I'm truly honoured to be included ...


    my additional "starting" nominations (both for inspiration and help)


    • Fletty
    • Simplicity
    • Bushmiller
    • AlexS




    and like you Graeme there are so many helpful folks that to name so few is an insult to the many

    Thank you, Ian & Cava, but I think I've gained at least as much as I've given. One of the most satisfying things has been to see people come in as novices, and progress to being 'gurus' in their field.
