*gets up on soapbox and clears throat*
Well, I said I'd make a big speech, so here goes....
*Ahem* I just want to congratulate Danny on this milestone on the growth of PPRuNe as more than just a newsgroup, but as an organisation. As a young wannabe myself, I find PPRuNe both entertaining and informative. But most of all, I'm humbled by the people you find here: air hostesses (and hosts!), Air Traffic Controllers, ferry, bush, military, the list goes on. And, although there are many, many British here, there are many also from countries from Australia, to the Americas, Europe, Africa, truly an international forum! I don't know of any Internet based group out there that has such a diverse following! And all with links to the one thing: A hatred for all things beancounter! (naah only kidding! Aviation of course! :) ) Danny, keep up the good work! Let's get this membership to 100,000, and then we'll have a voice that can be heard by all uncaring beancounters everywhere!
*steps down from soap box*
That was my first go at speech writing, it's all the first thing that came into me head! Over the top? Probably, but someone had to mark the big 45k with something........
I wonder what'll be done for the 50,000........
