Yeah, 'visitor' (Visitante).    I know what you mean and feel the same.

   Dale is a regular here and his appetite for helping others out has never slackened, he did and do a terrific job. 

   Countless times I came here to ask questions, when I couldn´t  get an answer at other places, guess who offered then? Dale.

   Other times I posted convoluted pieces of text and guess who got them straight? Dale, of course.

   When I got puzzled by pairs of words in which there´s an awful lot of similarities between them, guess who cleared them up? 

   Not that I blindly agree with him, but most of times he gives a sharp point of view and handy replies.  

   It´s good to have him with us, he makes a sea of difference, giving straight answers to our questions and discussions; where I would be trying hard to my head round them.   

    To sum up, I make mine Vistant´s comments.  

    P.S. It´s nice to have my name in the same post in wich big names like Pat, Fran, Márcio, and others.    Though, I know that I am not in the same league of them, anyway; WOW!

   Visitante, just like you, I read all messages.   And my English have improved a lot over these years.

Hugs for all.
