WELCOME TO THE NEW BWE!
Re: WELCOME TO THE NEW BWE!
by the way, I love the little wine glasses on each of the threads, but I haven't quite figured out what the difference is between a full one and a near-empty one...

Re: WELCOME TO THE NEW BWE!
I wish the greatest success to the new BWE.
I have seen the names of the members of the team around Jim.
I wish them a great success.
And I wish all the best to Jim. Continue to be the benevolent leader of a friendly community.
Best wishes to all

Re: WELCOME TO THE NEW BWE!
Wow, awesome site! Very user friendly. Excellent work Jim, Phil and everyone else involved. I already don't miss MSN in the slightest.

Re: WELCOME TO THE NEW BWE!
We have indeed had a great group of people over the years when you think about it, stefan.
Re: WELCOME TO THE NEW BWE!
A big hello to everyone! Great to see all the names from the past. Glad to have you on board.
This site should be much easier to use than the old MSN site.

Re: WELCOME TO THE NEW BWE!
Thanks to you as well, DavidG, who did a lot of work in development of the site. I think he personally tried about every one of its feautures!
Re: WELCOME TO THE NEW BWE!
I'm sure there are still a few bugs left under rocks that have yet to be turned, but the basics look really solid and user-friendly.
Re: WELCOME TO THE NEW BWE!
This looks great and miles better than MSN. Also looks like a great launch with lots of old names. BWE will always be important to me.

I think the ease of use will encourage more new people to join as well. MSN was just such a pain...

Re: WELCOME TO THE NEW BWE!

Re: WELCOME TO THE NEW BWE!
We're up to 61 members and the site hasn't been up for a full day. I think this has gone better than any of us might have expected. Long live BWE!

My goal was to welcome each and every member who arrived, but I quickly got overwhelmed.
In any event, welcome to everyone!

Re: WELCOME TO THE NEW BWE!
Also, hello to everyone, both new and old, that I have seen checking in for the celebration. I saw Whuzzup___, Joe Belmaati, SF Ed and many more. This is great Karma. We need to plan a few activities in the coming months to celebrate. I was thinking of a VLT.

Re: WELCOME TO THE NEW BWE!
Glad to see MSN in the rear view mirror! Quick check in from the snowy Rockies. The old retired couple is in transit and sucking down a zin (good ole Caffaro) at the motel. Off to sunny So. Cal. for Momma's 80 birthday and a lot of Chard--tho' she likes Kistler and my brother humors her there--not a bad way to go if ya gotta drink CA Chard! No good BDX until we arrive back home but methinks it might be time to start posting again once I return home in a few weeks. Congrats Jim, et al and thanks for all the effort! Life is good, P

Re: WELCOME TO THE NEW BWE!
Hey Patrick, long time no see! Great to hear from you.
Bob: Indeed, it is great to hear from old friend Benny, Joe Belmaati, Ed, Setab even! And all the others. I'm really reinvigorated to make BWE as vital as ever. That MSN format, with all its problems, was so stifling. I think this place is going to be great for what we are trying to accomplish.
I think a VLT is definitely called for!

Welcome, Eric, PappaDoc, Werner and Kim!
Werner and Kim were two of the very first BWEers within the first primordial hours of the existence of BWE back in the winter of 2000... and here they still are, nine years later!
