Dear NMB all, I would like you to know that I greatly appreciate this site and I have learned a lot. Thank you very much to the admins who run the site and the knowledgeable users from whom I've learned so much just by reading your posts and musings, not to mention the articles. You all have been an incredibly valuable resource to someone who is starting out collecting, especially those I've talked to privately. So, I apologize for lurking here for so long. I tend to keep to myself and I really didn't know if I'd stay interested. Needless to say, the more I've learned about nihonto and tosogu the more engrossed I've become, especially in the fittings world. Then, I attended my first show in Chicago, you know, to actually see in person what I'd been looking at online and I was blown away by the beauty of this Japanese art form and the enthusiasm/kindness of those I met there. Even my girlfriend had a nice time, and she didn't think she would. So thank you, NMB, for giving me the tools to start my modest collection and teaching me about this Nihonto and Tosogu way of life. I hope for many years to come. Skhye
