Seriously...

I think I just found my first hero. John Sperling is the kind of man who could change this world for everybody. I regret not having found and joined this forum before now. You guys rock. When our mission is successful I have a feeling all of you will get a place in the history-books/memory-banks.

What I really admire about Mr. Sperling is the fact that he has build he's wealth from virtually nothing. It takes a really strong personality to do a thing like that, and become so successful. How small I feel right now in the light of this brilliant man. My prognosis for the success of our mission just went from probably to certainly in my lifetime.

I am looking forward to reading more about Mr. Sperling's endeavors, and I hope he will live to se, if not the final goal, then at least his vision getting close to reality.


Mr. Sperling,

If you ever read this thread you must know, you have my deepest respect. [thumb]
May you live much longer than you ever expected.

My best Regards,
Thor.

@ Antonio: I think nobody can know this already, because it's only just a few weeks ago that John Sperling has died.
