Dear Mouse,

Several years ago I decided to give this game a shot and  in attempting to learn the ins and outs of it I had the indescribable pleasure of making your aquaintence. I was and remain stunned at the depth and breadth of your knowledge of the game and it's inner workings. I remember asking you if you were employed in the Naval Weapons and surface warfare industry which you laughed off! Your ship reviews were always eagerly awaited and were a determinant factor in the purchase of many of them, I shall miss them greatly. Yet, I also must stand with you and the other CCs in your decision the game has indeed wandered far afield from it's origins with more gimmicks and paper ships now submarines all in the name of profits. The Yukon debacle testifies to the depth the game has sunk to and I'm amazed Chobbitsu hasn't flipped out completely yet either. Mouse, I'm an old 1% biker and learned early that if you won't stand for yourself even if you know you gonna get you [edited]whipped nobody else will or want to. No matter what Mouse stand firm you have so many of us at your back! I'd give alot to have a brew with you and Lert just to find out more of who you are and what your all about but I already have a good idea of that! God bless you and all you've done if you ever need an old bastards opinion I'll be here! I have the honor and priveledge to be,
