Wow! Thanks everyone who voted for my article. I know that it meant a lot personally too me and I hope others got something from it as well. Look at you Bushido man96, you'll have two statues for your mantel, well if we actually got statues. Good for you, a two-fer.

I think I just heard Faith Hill scream "WHAT???" but she may have just been joking...

Wow, thanks very much to everyone who voted. And a big congratulations to bushidoman96, KarateK, and gheinisch as well!

I always try hard to be a quality participant of this site and to always do my best to give back as much as it's given me. The contributions and insight of everyone here have been extremely helpful in my own training, and I really appreciate the respect that everyone has for each other. My thanks to Patrick and the many members here who have been so welcoming, and I am eagerly anticipating my "sophomore" year here at KF!

With respect,

Sohan

Congratulations Greg, Kirsty, and Sohan! And thanks everyone for the nominations. I enjoy the time that I get to spend here, and I have to echo Sohan's sentiments as to what the forums here give me.

Of course, KarateForums could not be what it is without all of the great contributors who get on every day, every week, or every month, to give and receive information. Thanks to everyone who participates!
