Common interests, shared values, mutual respect, and mutual interests are a part of it.  I believe that a community is more than just the sum of its parts, but has a life of its own.  So, I would like to express my gratitude to Eric for starting this community, Morrus for continuing it, and all the moderators and members for maintaining it.  We have grown as a community in many ways -- in size, in understanding, and in influence.  Let's look forward to the next six years in the spirit of friendship and community.</blockquote>
