In a thread I started about the fires,Erice mentioned how invaluable it is to have people from the sailing industry on here. I just want to second that, and give them a little acknowledgment. I really felt privileged to have been able to follow, and participate in threads where Bill Roberts, and Hans Geisler(?) were directly involved. They each made me not only a fan of their boats, but of them as people. And while Hobie may not be what we all wish it was as a company, (and local dealer support is very lacking in New England), the company is great! Matt Miller is a very big part of that. He has helped many many sailors on the Hobie Forum, and his generous participation here has always been in the best of spirits. He is always there, either with an answer, or helping you find it.Then there are his posts covering events, like the recent Hobie 16 Worlds. If you are a fan of the sport, you have to be able to appreciate that! A wonderful contribution Matt! I know Hans is busy with other projects, I hope Bill will stop by again soon. Major kudos to you guys! With thanks, Brian
