I just thought that, appropriately at this season of goodwill and as the year comes to an end, I’d submit my congratulations to my favourite regular EA writers, Paolo, Slammr, Nathan and Jesus, for their copious and meritorious literary and other contributions to the board during 2004. My thanks are also extended to other contributors, who help make the website such an interesting and lively place, most especially to the late Bboy for starting the whole operation.

I additionally express my hope that I’ll be able to read many more of the worthy fictional works of Paolo, Nathan and Slammr, plus the invaluable non-fictional submissions of Jesus, in 2005!

PUEROS

And to you as well, my friend.

Thank you.

Thanks for the board...and the kind words. It's been an interesting year. As for the holiday, in keeping with the recent tale I've told, I hope all of you have a great holiday season. Just remember to watch your Santa's closly. You never know what kind of "Christmas Balls," if any, he's swinging under his branch.....I mean, Christmas tree branches. Yeah, that's what I meant! Happy New Year!!!

<grin>

Thank you for your kind words. I certainly plan to continue to comb various libraries for interesting tid-bits to post here. The positive reactions are what keep me going.

A very happy solstice season to all!

I certainly appreciate the words from Pueros. I always particularly appreciate such praise from another author. I only wish I knew one-tenth as much about ancient history as Pueros does.
