Long time I go, when I first came to this fora, foolishly thinking I knew something, it was him one of whose made me realize how little I actually knew. I remember myself blowing the -by then blissfully sparse- birthday's cake candles and wishing for a library like Jim McDougall's.
Now, years later, knowing barely a bit more, and with a good share of such knowledge coming from Jim and the people around here, I find myself blowing those -every year more crammed- candles wishing not as much as for a knowledge like Jim's (now I'm painfull y aware I'll never reach that point
) but for being able, as years come by, to be just a fraction as gentle, witty, enthusiastic and generous as him.
Thank you for everything, Jim
