Talking 1000 post's

Wow, I never thought that I could stay with one place so long. Thanks to all of you out there for reading and processing and making me look and learn. Thanks are due to Tim Lamkin for striving and accomplishing a better 6.0 page. Big thanks to Ken Payne for making this the best Ford site ever. I did not have a clue as to the work involved putting together a site like this and keeping it up and running and remarkably clean. Ken and all the mods deserve a huge thanks for this effort!! And thank you forum readers for making this site possible…..

Now for the obligatory joke:

A guy named Bob receives a free ticket to the Superbowl from his company. Unfortunately, when Bob arrives at the stadium he realizes the seat is in the last row in the corner of the stadium -- he is closer to the Goodyear Blimp than the field.
About halfway through the first quarter, Bob notices an empty seat 10 rows off the field right on the 50 yard line. He decides to take a chance and makes his way through the stadium and around the security guards to the empty seat. As he sits down, he asks the gentleman sitting next to him, "Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?" The man says no.
Now, very excited to be in such a great seat for the game, Bob again
inquires of the man next to him, "This is incredible! Who in their right mind would have a seat like this at the Superbowl and not use it?" The man replies, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me, I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Superbowl we haven't been to together since we got married in 1967."
"Well, that's really sad," says Bob, "but still, couldn't you find someone to take the seat? A relative or a close friend?"
"No," the man replies, "they're all at the funeral."

To my very good friend congratulations on 1000.

As most know my style, I always take the high road and will never speak for someone else……..well, I am going to break one of my own rules. I am going to speak for everyone here at FTE in the 6.0 forums.

During my time here at FTE, few if any has ever earned a round of applause more than you.
Your tireless help with a product that has been a bit problematic, is known throughout this site.
If it were in my power, you would run Ford and be at every dealership across this great land
teaching how to treat customers…..For you have treated FTE members with respect.
FORD could only be so lucky.
We are thrilled with your return.

Thank you.
From the 6.0 owners of FTE.

Thank you for being a part of the FTE community. The Super Duty / Heavy Duty section continues to grow in leaps and bounds. It went from being a small section to being in the top 2 sections of the forums. Thanks!
