I don't know about anyone else, but let me say this.
I consider many of you friends and most I will never meet. When my local friends come over to bench race or hang out, we discuss everything: Kids and family, God, politics, and especially racing. No subject is forbidden because learning others opinions is just more knowledge for me. Some areas are painful, but it all helps get me thru life.
You guys (and girls) are my extended family.
