Congratulations on the Foro reaching the first decade. And thanks for maintaining it and doing the heavy lifting, Simon. The Foro is a great place to congregate, discuss and debate flamenco, all musical genres, black holes, al-Andalus, politics, economics, genealogy, and the virtues of beer. May it live another decade and beyond.

Cheers,

Bill

Thanks for noticing. A lot has changed in 10 years. Some good, some not so, but the forum would not be what it is without all the members who participate. I just handle the plumbing.

Congratulated Simon!

Yes, congratulations are in order. A lot has happened in the forum over the past decade. Meltdowns, dramatic exits (often followed by a low key return). In addition to flamenco it has been a source of interesting and unpredictable off-topic discussion: history, culture, travel. And of course overshadowing everything is the loss of Ron.M who was here from the beginning, and whose absence is still felt.
