I happened to see that today is SJM's birthday! When I first started AZB, I noticed how respectful, insightful and even elegant his posts were. They still are! In fact, I believe that SJM is our foremost authority on the history of women's pool as well as one the the very top over-all historians of our time honored pursuit!
Stu, I very much appreciate all of your contibutions and insights here at AZB. I've learned much over the years after having read your thoughtful posts and I thank you for that. Even if we don't agree on everything (Oliver Ortmann's pattern play, for example :smile

, I still very much appreciate your knowledge and the gracious way in which you conduct yourself. You're a good model for all of us posters!
A very Happy Birthday is wished for you my friend! May you enjoy many, many more and may you also have much love, joy and peace in all your days ahead!
