Well, it's about time, Paul. In my ever so humble opinion, you should have been the first FMOTM. No wait, I mean number two. Uh, I mean number three, yeah, that's right, number thr... Stop the presses, number four is perfect.
I always refer to you as one of the "smart" ones. Other forum members should go back and look at your old posts. They contain a wealth of information about fishing, about pouring plastics and lead, and how to run a safe shop. You inform us about the P&L part of a small business, excise taxes, insurance and all that other junk we don't want to deal with. You've got pics in the gallery dating back to what has to be the inception of the forum.
I was brand new to the forum when you sent me a PM...probably a bad lawyer joke. That PM went a long way to making me feel welcome to the forum. That PM has lead to an online friendship that I suspect will continue for a time to come.
Congrats, Paul. Truly well deserved.
