I've managed to meet a couple of really great folks here in-person over the past year or two.  I had the real pleasure of meeting Slider-Bob, Pat and Ken during my Michigan road-trip earlier this year.   

Today I got to meet "the man" who makes this all possible.  Jim was passing through my area on his way to Philly, and I happened to be working from home today (waiting on Comcast to fix my Internet access) so we got to meet up at my house. 

Jim, it was a pleasure meeting you and spending some time chatting soda machines, broken/busted body parts, thermostats and smoke detectors among several other interesting topics.  I really enjoyed it and hope you travel safely on your trip.   Enjoy Philly, have a great time at Hershey, don't hesitate to call if you see anything in my area that needs to be picked up, and most of all thank you for providing this great site to everyone!   drinking

Jim...Well said and no doubt, there are some great people on this site (yourself included) who help each other out, talk about their finds, etc.

Awesome site! Thanks Jim B!

Thanks for the kind words ! ! !
 Just remember, SMC doesn't create good people; it only puts them in touch with each other!

My six cents,
