Thanks Tommaso

Quite simply: Beyond the Call of Duty.

Tuesday 3rd Dec 2013:

We were all driven nuts over the weekend and much of yesterday, by the long periods when this forum was unavailable.

Tommaso (milanese) took it upon himself to investigate - he has run his own forums and knows how to tackle the back end of a website. He still is not sure whether the problems were caused by a hacker or by the increasingly heavy footfall here and the possible inability of the basic hosting package I paid for to cope with it.

He concluded that we needed one of the hosts dedicated server packages; these are not cheap.

In one of the most wonderfully generous actions I have witnessed, Tommaso booked the package and paid for it himself, for a year.

That is just a few US dollars short of $1,800 guys.

Thank you Tomaso. I am proud and honoured to be able to call you my friend. Our forum is indebted to you.

This forum, and it's great members, never cease to amaze me.

Thanks Steve and Tommaso.

Steve, I'm having trouble using the link in your signature to make a donation. I'm getting an error message from Paypal. Can you give me your e-mail address so I can donate directly?

We’re indebted to tomaso so we should at least know a bit about this member. I tried to visit members page and click on “T”, doesn’t work. Steve, can u tell us a bit about this lovely member since we are benefiting from his generosity? At least we should know which part of the world is he located.

Grazie mille, Tommaso! You're a great addition to this great forum.

This just gets better and better.

cuzgeorge has just sent me $1000 to pass on to Tommaso. Tomasso's comment? Not, "Yippee. It has only cost me $800 after all." Instead, "Great. Now we have a reserve in case we need professional help." Wow.

Thanks George. We have all known for a long time what a star you are.

You guys are blowing me away today.

A number of you want to make donations to Tommaso. I do not want to post his paypal account as it is also his private email address. Send me a pm instead and I will pass it on.
