I will gladly jump on this cheer. Thanks Dave for starting it!
I have (as I am sure many of you have) participated in many forums over the years, of a variety of focus areas, and IAP is absolutely my all time favorite. I like the atmosphere, I really like the various forums, and the willingness of participants to share their experiences, and offer advice. And, I like that we can veer off the pen-making trail now and then and have a lively discussion on other topics without being scolded. There is a camaraderie here that is the result of many people getting together and enjoying each other's "company".
Please keep up the great work!
