I concur...thanks should go to the grand daddy of Heuer ;-)

Agree with non commericality of site, i think adverts would dilute it somewhat and make it much less attractive. The running costs are clearly higher than on my site, but unless it becomes too much of a burden i'd leave well alone, it's one of the reasons it makes using the site so appealing.

Thanks Jeff!

: Readers and Writers:

: Just a quick note to thank everyone for a great couple of weeks on
: this forum.

: One of the nice things about my not-for-profit / non-commercial
: status is that I don't need to be bothered with
: "traffic" or "hits", but the increase in
: volume over the last few days has been amazing. More than simply
: the volume, we have had excellent discussions and photos (and we
: have even used this forum to stay up to date and wish the best
: to Iris and Jasper). We have had good contributions from the
: old-timers, and many new members introducing themselves. Indeed,
: it is difficult to imagine a more vibrant, active community of
: collectors in any other brand.

: And the best thing of all is that we have many exciting events to
: look forward to, including the Bonhams / Halsinger auction, in
: December. So let's keep rolling, to finish out Heuer's 150th
: Anniversary in style!!
