This Va takes many people to make it successful but looking through the water cooler and the issue tracker and the help desk 2 names keep coming up and thats Luke and William I think we should all take a minute to say thank you to these two the things that they do daily to fix repair and deal with problems is mind boggling and if it wasnt for them we would really be struggling technologically compared to where we are not to take anything away from anyone else who helps make dva successful because it takes everyones participation but I think sometimes these two take on thankless tasks so from me Thanks

Thanks for your kind words, but the best thank you I can possibly receive is when you use our software and have a good time. The best thrills I have are seeing traffic numbers go up, or looking at the ACARS map on a weekend afternoon to see dots all across the world. Besides, William is the real unsung hero behind all of the ACARS stuff. I liken our software to a piece of crap. I may make it look good, but Bill makes it SMELL good. biggrin

Cheers!

I have never thought of DVA as being a rosy smelling piece of crap!! Nice one Luke!!! There is alot of stuff that happens behind the scenes, as we the community doesnt see!! It is great that there are people who can use their abilities to help others "escape" the real world!! Thanks again!!
