I've been a member here for just under 6 months, and it's amazing to me how much DLA has grown and evolved in that short amount of time. The success hasn't been by chance. It's due to the hard work and countless hours donated by RJ, JJ, the COOP managers, Rick the Wiki master, and all of the other forum regulars who are always quick to help and slow to criticize. Sometimes it's easy to forget the work that goes into this stuff.
For example, I'm a member of the Freestyle / SSR COOP. Just to put things into perspective, I did some quick calculations, and this single COOP involves somewhere in the neighborhood of 20,462 individual parts that have to be ordered, tracked, sorted, packaged and distributed to nearly 50 different people... which is all done (at cost) by a volunteer in his free time to help us all get a good deal. (Todd, if you're reading this - any time between now and Christmas 2010 is fine with me, buddy.)
That's just one COOP. Right now, there are no less than 7 COOPS in various stages of progress. Each one containing quality products designed and developed by RJ for our benefit, and supported by the best tech support group in the business.
So, at the risk of inflating a few egos, I just wanted to say THANKS! I'm sure others will agree that your efforts are greatly apprectiated.
