No doubt, this forum pulls sharpening talents and inquiring minds together.
I guess it's because by the time someone gets that far as to invest in research instruments like the BESS tester, his knowledge on the matter is already far beyond average.
Give us another year, and you will see people on other forums quoting from ours long after we all retire.

Thanks to everybody for making the BESS Exchange a great place to be.  Best wishes to all!

Happy New Year 2018!

Happy New Year!!

2017 was a very good year for me as well.

I'm happy to say that the success of this Forum is certainly one of the brightest points, which I am truly grateful for.

Mr Mike, I can't Thank You enough. As sole proprietor, you created this Forum merely 9 months ago, and graciously invited me to be one of the founding members. I am humbly honored, Sir, and forever grateful.

Mr Rupert continues to play the key, behind the scene, role. No one can imagine how much much influence he's had, and what an inspiration he continues to be, to me in particular, but also to this Forum.

Mr Grepper and Mr Ken have been invaluable to the success of this Forum. You Gentlemen, along with Mr Rupert, have kept the Forum alive, active and growing, especially through the critical burgeoning stage, and critically, during my absence.

Mr KG, tremendous respect for you, Sir. Thank You for your highly  professional, very astute, ongoing presence. I look forward to the New Year with you as well.

There are many others, who, as they know, mean a great deal to me personally, and to the forum. Thank You, Gentlemen. Your presence and support are deeply appreciated.
