I just noticed I've been registered with my current account on BEA for 25 years now. A lot has changed in my life since the summer of 2001, as I'm sure it has for most of us, but it's been nice to always have the BEA here as an outlet for this little corner of my life, a place to commune with others who share this odd obsession.
Thanks to everyone I've met here, who's helped keep this forum alive, and continue to be a place worth coming back to.
A special word of thanks to the tireless admins. Managing an online community is a delicate balancing act. Your work is appreciated.
