Swamphunter Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Wow, how the time goes by. I have been a member here for almost 6 full years now and have seen so many changes. I wonder if I could total up how much time I have spent on here reading and typing. I remember back to hunting the 1st Adirondack Mountains, " Smackdown in the Dacks" with Jim and some good guys... Seen a lot of good people come and go... seen some good friends leave and come back (thankfully). Seen members showing their firstborn, and extended families, and even seen too many good members pass. A few quite tragically.... With my more than 11,000 posts and the fact that I have done more reading than posting.... that is a LOT of time on RT! Think back... a lot of us still hanging on!
