Just realized today is my 25th anniversary on TFL, I joined Jan. 30, 2000 (I actually joined in 1999 under another account name that I abandoned for no other reason than I didn't like the name).
Weird to think that I've been hanging out here, asking questions, and responding to posts for a quarter century. I was connecting to the internet via 56k modem back in those days reading posts on an old CRT monitor. My, how times have changed. I have spent most of my time discussing semi auto handguns and have benefitted from the collective knowledge of many others over the past 25 years.
Hopefully I'll still be around to comment on my 50th anniversary.
