I was there when the porch was first announced at the rec.woodworking,
and have been with it since then, although as a lurking mode under the 
porch. Met many galoots such as Patrick Leach, Pete Taran, 
Ralph Brendler, Don McConnell, Clarence Blanchard, Tom Witte in person
and enjoyed communication with Todd Kissam, Bob Brode, Mark Rees, 
Patrick Olguin, and many others. (Hi all of you!) As a shy foreigner who 
has never been comfortable in English, I could not really get along with 
them in person but I cherish great memories in my heart. With the help 
of these guys, I have accumulated a decent set of tools. Some of them can 
be seen at my website http://www.hongik.ac.kr/~dikim/index-e.html. 
I hope I could contribute to this list somehow from now on.
