When Jay and Speedgirl and I worked on getting Steve started on the Thad Allen thread we never thought that this history lesson and the following boat building thread would achieve this much attention.

Steves efforts and attention to these threads has obviously been very time consuming.
A fantastic amount of knowledge has been passed on and some time today his Powerplay thread is going to hit the 100k mark in viewership.

On behalf of all of us that have learned so much and enjoyed all of this we would just like to say THANK YOU STEVE.

Thanks, Steve!

Some of the best descriptions and pictorials I have ever seen on the internet ... The attention to detail has been incredible. Thank you Mr. Koss on a very timely post in the 'WAKE' of all the other 'STUFF' of late.........................................


It has been an oasis (pun intended) of knowledge .................................................. .................................................. ..............
