oh, man, over 9 years, I've got so many to thank:

- OxTheAutist, Des, BigMeck, AI (yes,
that AI), mm3100, and others for providing the support I needed to create a strat part of CORP, a diplo clan (

There's too many, really. Lots of you have made time for things I wanted to try (recently Optimum/Prime, but a long string of projects before then), been kind to me (both deserved and often undeserved), and given me chances to learn and grow and think and sometimes contribute. It's been fun playing with all of you.
