To Ron: I always want to thank you for starting up and maintaining Apollo through thick and thin--and I know there has been thin--for so many years. You are doing a great service to men who simply don't have the opportunities to communicate and meet that straight men have. (At Right: I'm not sure if there is a double meaning to this image, but good letters always "blow people away.")

But what I find particularly impressive about the site is your messages; they are so intelligent and articulate. So often you have said what I would like to say if I the thought through a subject more thoroughly, and you have said it in terms that reach your readers more effectively than I could. You make your site educational for men who don't get to hear or read unvarnished facts or who need to be gently urged to use common sense.

For that I thank you, and though I do not write every month, I do thank you silently every time I sign on. Sincerely, A.

From Ron: A big thank you.
