I think its "you can checkout anytime but you can never leave", followed by a killer guitar solo by Don Felder....

Thanks AJ for the into/writeup.  Very flattering.  I hope I can live up to it someday!  :)

As a person with many interests/hobbies, I have spent my share of time in online forums.  But never have I identified more with one than the WKC.  I have been fortunate enough to meet some of the Norcal members, and have made several friendships with others, literally across the globe, that I have yet to meet.  The sense of community here is outstanding and it amazes me to no end how many times someone here goes out of their way to help someone else.  The other thing that amazes me is the collective knowledge of the WKC membership.  This place is the most knowledgeable source of information on Weber kettles on the planet!.  The founders of the WKC have something they should be very proud of, but its the collective posting and actions outside the forum that really make it work.  I want to be part of it, and I want to contribute what I can to make it ever better.  Thank you for the opportunity!

Winz

Welcome, Winz!  Thanks for your past and continuing leadership.

(re: the typo in the title of this thread,  'Statesman' + 'Announcement' = 'Statesment'.   eg., "Quiet down, everyone, Winz would like to make a Statesment!"    ;-)
