Kind words-
Posted by Michael Strahan on Mar 01 2006
Thanks for the support, folks. It gets pretty ugly here now and then, but thanks to civil tongues, a good set of guidelines, and a forum moderator who keeps things in alignment, this place has remained a great place for the exchange of information on Alaska hunting and fishing.
I am not so arrogant as to assume that I'm the inventor of most of the information I share; on the contrary, I'm passing on things I've learned through the generosity of others who were willing to show me what they knew. Some of my info was learned the hard way; you know, the sort of way where you go "gee... that really hurt. I'll never do THAT again!" You get the idea.
But I thought this would be a great opportunity to remind all of us that we are really part of a community. And in that sense, we are each a part of the other. This very forum is an extention of that principle. I think John Donne expressed it well with these words:
"...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee..."
All the same, thank you for the kind words.
Best Regards,
-Mike
