Heh, like the holiday theme/icons. Just wanted to let you know. Want to congratulate the staff for running a top notch site as well. Happy Holidays.

Thanks for the kind words. At this festive time of the year it has been a Café tradition to do a little decorating, this year is no exception. Glad you approve.

Yes!
The Café looks great for the holidays.

Thank you to all the Café staff members who work year 'round to make the Café a success.

The more time I spend in the Café, the more impresed I am with the efforts undertaken on the members' behalf. The board is run in a very equitable manner with a pretty fair balance between issues of open access and the less-than-public nature of what we do. I am also genuinely appreciative of the degree to which all of you succeed in monitoring the board and keeping things from degenerating into flaming and abusive/annoying posting as I have seen in too many other public boards.

And the little touches (like the holiday icons) are great ways to let all of us know we're welcome here.

Thanks, all of you.

Thanks Erik!

Love them too

Don't want this to sound out of place, but will these icons be removed some time after Christmas?

Yes they will. Normally we remove the holiday graphics and return to our traditional Café mode right after New Years.
