Congratulations Scott, Glad to have been a part of the "older" movie poster mailing list for a third of it's existance.
Glad MPF got a mention, that is a great compliment, for the record the Not safe for work forum seems to be the place where MPF is talked about so much, What has been said on MoPo is a drop in the ocean really. I too take it as a compliment, even though others wouldn't if they read some of the stuff. "Other forums" will never compete with that. MPF is approaching 5 years in July, how times flies when your having so much fun! Keep up the good work Scott, long live MoPo!!! I put MoPo in the more civilised bracket of our Movie Poster Hobby and am glad to be part of it.
