Art,

You've done a really great job in setting up this forum, bringing together people who share a common interest. I originally found this forum by a referral by someone and I now know a lot, lot more about soviet awards and soviet history than I ever did before. Even something as simple as knowing which books to buy, and which ones not has been a great help to me.

Thanks also to NB and Ed for their many posts to the Fake section. I find this one of the most interesting aspects of this forum, as well as, of course, getting to meet lots of people who share a passion of mine.

Also thanks to everyone else who contributes, especially those kind enough to answer all the questions I keep asking.

Kind Regards,
Shane Cook.

I don't know what to say except if the membership didn't post some of the great stuff we've had in the past, the forum wouldn't exist. The moderators are doing a great job. Without them, it would get boring very fast.

Cool! Thanks Alexei! Of course with all the help you, Ed, Tal and Mahdi have given, we can go for the family photo package

This, by far, is the best online collector community that I have seen. In addition to having a number of excellent members and being our "virtual club", this web site has a ton of information about Soviet awards, that is hard to find anywhere else.

Art, and everyone else - congradulations! Cheers!

Your pal,

Dear Art

I see we are at 99 members. One more to the big 100 and I think it will be soon.

I also see that there were 37 members on line at one stage. I can remember when 5 was the top number.

Well done

Kind regards
