Happy New Year Everyone!

Hi all,
Thanks for your support on the forum in 2011.
I am hoping for a great 2012 for all of us.
If you have the means, donate some free time to helping others, a charity or even a gesture of good will - it can have a snowball effect.
I read a news article about someone going to a random KMart store (for those unaware it is a large department store) and she decided to pay off some random peoples credit (those who were close to having to return their goods). This news sent a flurry of good will and hope to hundreds and possibly thousands of people looking for inspiration. Many others have since done the same. I know this is nothing new, but this year under the current global economic crisis, it was very memorable.
I am in no way suggesting that we all need to do this, but any small selfless act can help many.
On another note, I have been in touch with Sam Thayer who has some great and qualified theories on the 'poisonous plants' that attributed to Chris' death. Have made a page

Cheers to you Chris for bringing us all together. As they say in Norway, skål!
Cheers,
Adam
