Jarkko - thank you for this, and I do take your point about the forum being only a part of the whole. I can see there's a lot more to look at here, and I'm looking forward to doing so.
There's perhaps never been a better time to take a renewed interest in Mr C - thanks again! And I'm glad Leonard has recognised your key role on this site, and in his later development.

Dear Jarkko,
Deserved praise indeed!
Some of the more recent members of the "Files" may not be aware that a debate took place, not that long ago, about closing the Forum message board. Thankfully, the board kept going, and the membership has rocketed.
One of the kindest touches from you was sending out all the first day covers from Finland, with each address handwritten, to celebrate Leonard's 70th birthday. Jarkko, I hope to see you some time in the future to thank you personally. Are you going to the Edinburgh concert?
Yours,
Andrew.

Thank you for the comments, guys. Andrew: unfortunately I can't come to Edinburgh; I saw some of the Manchester shows and will be again in London. Hope to take one open air gig between those days but not in UK.

Ah. VeloVermont, you found the waltzing article I once posted (only a link) in the Tribute Section, the one that Darling received three times. Really worth to be read three times, if you ask me. Just G-r-e-a-t.
It must take a lot of - so many things - to maintain such a site and to keep a forum like that working properly, so also
Chapeau Monsieur Arjatsalo, en passant.

Thank You for Everything Jarkko. You deleted one of my posts the other day. It was the first time for me. I feel such a rebel, now

***we have moved messages to more suitable threads (otherwise it will be impossible to find anything in the tour sections) and also deleted some messages from threads that have the warning "nothing else but..." -- like the setlist thread

Ooops, that wasn't a complaint, Jarkko! Just a jest. You do a wonderful job. Thank you again!

Never mind, Jarkko. I can assure you, if I was the manager of this forum and felt bored I would delete way more posts than you do just to have fun. Compared to this you still are an angel.

Dear Jarkko,
I was thinking this morning how only good has come out of your setting up the files and this website. It has been good for Leonard and certainly good for all of us. It is kind of akin to one of those scientific or medical breakthroughs, but one of an emotional/psychic nature.
I, for one, can't thank you enough!
Joe
