Stephane Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hi Laz, Hi all, Great idea to start a thread on this second Euro GTG. There is not much I can add to what Laz says here. The GTGs are giving another dimension to this community. Nothing will ever replace the voice, the "live" behaviour, a hand shaking... Internet is sometimes helpfull, forums fun, but when a bunch of humans meet that is THE real life it is so good. I will save a budget on my rep purchases to make sure I can attend the next one, wherever it happens in Europe. Laz, how about 4-5/07 or 18-19/07 in your wonderfull city Thanks to all who made it to K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takashi Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Posted this on another thread but I think here will be more appropriate: I would like to really thank you very much on a lot of things. I won't name you in the post but you should know who you are You all have my respect too. There are much things which I can't describe by words and pictures but it's really meaningful to me (i.e.: friendship). Thanks for all these plus things which I mentioned above: Big cheers to you I think the dustblower is not that one... Took the picture last night and a bit @@@ Sorry.
