Hi everyone. Let me just take a minute to go off-topic with something I wanted to share with you all.

I just received a PM from someone, taking the time to thank me for sharing my Empire and Jedi boots with everyone. This spurred me to put into words, just how special and wonderful I find this forum.

The minute I joined here, I was overwhelmed with the kindness of strangers. People shared willingly of their copies of many Star Wars projects, some even without asking. Members took the expense, the time to burn, pack and ship DVDs halfway around the world to a total stranger.

I've been lurking on this forum for a number of years, never realizing that the bootlegs would be of interest. Once I realized that, how could I not share with everyone? Why wouldn't I? For me, I feel it's only proper to share what you have if it is of any interest to anyone.

But it's a community effort, really. I had the tapes and the means to transfer them to DVD, but the distribution was left up to someone else. The people who proliferate these projects are the true heroes, the people who upload, the people who PIF, who share their serverspace with everyone who needs it. You know who you are. My hat's off to you.

On this forum, everyone is sharing their resources, time and expenses, and we give them gladly with no strings attached.

I'm just happy to be a part of it.

Fritz
