    Default Feeling lots of gratitude.

    If we do manage to maintain our privilege of unlimited interfund transfers (and even if we don't), I want to thank James for what I know has been lots of work of the worst kind, tedious homework to make sure "I's" are dotted and "T's" are crossed along with tedious analysis confirming the TSP board's "numbers" didn't add up.

    Also, his taking time away from his family to go to Washington to try to communicate our case. Also, the time (let along energy) to build the tspshareholder.org website and organization and oh yeah, the TIME to build and maintain the web site and distribution list for the newsletter. Lots of others things, I know that I haven't mentioned. Plus his participation and patience with the rest of us in answering questions (when prudent). And also his participation as moderator on TSPtalk.com. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

    Also, SHOWME has to be included somewhere here. He is somewhat more in the background but seems always to deliver rather than just post ideas expecting others to investigate. There are likely others behind the scenes on this. Also, I dont' want to forget the active contributors who keep the stimulating discussions going. Thank you.

    Also, I don't want to forget thanking Tom. Without the TSPtalk web site for James to begin (or dig in) his stronghold, James' efforts would have been much, much less effective, perhaps non-existant. I know that Tom also has a family and I'm sure he has spent time away from them for the sake of TSPtalk. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

    Also, I want to thank others for making tsptalk.com a very good forum and hence a forum that continues to attract more new members. Included in this list is Ocean for great tracker software along with EW_RET, other moderators such as Griffin and Spaf and Nnuut and ChemEng and others such as 350Z, etc. I don't have the whole list right now but I know there are more. Forgive me for forgetting anyone. Feel free to post and add other names to my starting list.

    Also, don't want to forget the EBB, Rev Shark and Trader Fred. It is nice to have the option of their services if that is your choice. Nice to have choices.

    The better the forum, the more members are attracted to join and the more effective can we be in making sure we have a voice in what happens to our TSP investment.

    I hope everyone who has not contributed will contribute to tspshareholder.org as well as tsptalk. I have contributed in the past and plan to do that again.

    (Disclaimer: I have no affiliation, financial or otherwise, with tsptalk.com or tspshareholder.org except as a member.)

    THANKS!

    Thanks ayla! Your appreciation... and contributions (to the board and donations) are appreciated too.

    I hope everyone who has not contributed will contribute to tspshareholder.org as well as tsptalk. I have contributed in the past and plan to do that again.
    TSP Talk is compensated from ads and member subscriptions so please, if anyone wishes to contribute, I would prefer to see it go to tspshareholder.org rather than TSP Talk. Thanks!
