He looks happy and looks to be a fine young man. What will he be studying, or shooting for at NDSCS?

Sorry to learn about your daughter. Can't imagine the pain that would be.

Mis-using the @ function when the member being addressed is already in the thread.

Use it when "calling" for a member not in the thread so you get their attention.  Just FYI, as Jeff has mentioned problems with its "mis-use" and we may lose the feature.
