    Greetings!
    As this is the first thread on this site, I just wanted to make sure the door was open. This web site is the result of discussions at the 2007 Northeast Animal-Power Field Days. We hope that as it grows it will be useful to all of us. Hope to hear from you, Carl

    So it seems like this thread is the most appropriate place to post.

    Four years ago I had never used the internet for anything. When David Fisher suggested that we consider creating a discussion forum for draft animal power, I had no idea what that meant on one hand, and no idea where it would go on the other hand.

    Now a little over three years later this is what we have created… together. Now DAP.com is the centerpiece of the newly formed DAPNet, with over 3000 user members.

    I have been really inspired by the growth of this community. I have also really enjoyed being at the helm of this site, performing administration, and moderating. As many of you are aware I have spent a lot of time here not just as administrator, but participating as well.

    With the development of DAPNet, we are looking forward to sharing responsibilities with other people.

    Recently Geoff Pritchard (near horse) has started taking over administration of this site. I will stay on for a while to give him assistance, but I am also looking forward to getting back to the lifestyle where I actually don’t HAVE to go on-line everyday. No doubt I will be visiting regularly anyway

    Anyway, from now on start to think of Geoff when you have questions or need assistance. I expect he will make a post soon.

    Thank you all for a wonderful time.

    Love you all, Carl

    First, I can only hope to maintain the quality product and experience that this forum has grown into under Carl’s guidance. I think we are all grateful beyond words for the work you’ve done here Carl. Thank you.

    PLEASE – If there’s anything that any of you, the users, feel needs to be addressed let me know and I’ll do my best to take care of it or find an answer. In addition, this forum, like DAPNet, is really a community product and as such will grow and benefit from your input. So any of your suggestions are also greatly appreciated. PM me at any time.

    Carl, Short of hooking a team to a really big log and pulling it up hill, this website and growing community are quiet an accomplishment. Congratulations! Donn

    Well, thanks for your time and effort. It surely did pay off in a good place to read. I visit here quite a lot and appreciate (as many do) the opportunity to learn from our diverse members.
    I’m sure Geoff will do a fine job.
