A brief thread to wish everyone a Happy Christmas - and to thank you for your support during the year. Each and every contributor has added their own touch and their own angle, and it's the very wide range of touches and angles that has made the board such a busy place - and as people choose to come here and contribute, I think we're doing some things right.

An especial "Thank you" to the team of moderators, who do so much behind the scenes to keep the board up, running and interesting.  As the moderation is usually light handed and gentle, the regular users and guests may not realise just how much time, effort and dedication they put in. The sign of good moderation is that the boards bounce along, vibrant and well, with the team 'behind' the boards simply posting up as active, regular members with just one eye on how the forum is running.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

And all the very best from me too. This place means more to me than a lot of people probably realise - so, thankyou, one and all, for all your tremendous support. Happy Christmas one and all, and here's hoping we all have a tremendous New Year as well.
