Default A welcome and an explanation from me

Hey Everyone!

First, and foremost, I want to welcome JJ as MCF's newest moderator. I appologize for taking so long to say it. MCF is very lucky to have some of the best moderators around (past and present). And the forum is certainly lucky to have JJ as a member and moderator!

Thank you JJ for being such a great guy!

Something many members here have mentioned many times is how much of a family the MCF is. And I feel I should explain why I haven't been around as much lately.

My dad has had heart problems most of his life. And after many proceedures over the years, and his advanced age, he's having serious problems. His doctors are still trying to figure out what (if anything) they can do for him. But in the meantime, he isn't able to do much physical activity without getting chest pains. Which is very frustrating for him.

So I've been busy with things at home. Plus having to work steady night shift. It hasn't left me with as much time to be here as much as I like. I try my best to be here as much as I can. MCF is always my home on the internet. And always the place I go to when I need an escape. I continue to try my best to be here as much as I can.

I owe JJ a huge THANK YOU for being there and offering his help. As most of you know, he has a lot of experience with forums and cars. His dedication and helpfulness does not go un-noticed, and certainly fits in very well with everyone on MCF!

Thanks everyone! This is by far the best forum I've ever been a member of!

Lou.

The power of concern, and prayers can not

Taz. I apologize and we all understand when a member can't get around to the forum, it's not because they don't care but usually for personal reasons. I hope the best for your family and your father.

Also, Congratulation JJ Look at that... you make a few stickers and all of a sudden your a mod :P
