Lincoln Discussion Symposium 1 Year Old

[Laurie Verge]

I doubt that any of us really understand and appreciate the amount of time that Roger Norton has spent in the past year creating and monitoring one of the best Lincoln-related sites/forums on the internet. And, we need to give him credit for about 17 years of creating his other wonderful site that has assisted so many - especially young people.

It is such a pleasure to participate in this educational experience and to online chat with some wonderful Lincoln authorities - many of whom do not get the credit in the field that they deserve. There is a brain trust here that is not always fully appreciated by others at the top of the food chain. And, the best part is that 99% of the time, posters here are respectful of other people's opinions and are also aware of the message that they are sending into cyberspace -- no rude smackdowns, no objectionable language, use documented sources, etc.

We have Roger Norton to thank for such a professional, educational, and friendly environment in which to share our interests.
