    Wow...that is an impressive list. I was wondering how you made sure you did not repeat a topic.

    I will miss the Tour...

    Cellar, a personal note of gratitude: many many thanks for your weekly educational tour that I have learnt from every week, and from my trawls in the archives. They are - and I am sure will remain - a very enlightening source of recollecting what may have been forgotten, or through your lens an illuminating over-arching theme or connection was surfaced that had not been considered before. I will miss the Tuesday Tour indeed.

    Thank You.

    Greg, thank you very much for all your posts. I got a huge volume of information and I agree with Shing, I will miss Tuesday Tour as well.

    Greg, it's a pity the Tuesday tours are coming to an end. I am sure I will re-visit some of the links in the near future. I am looking forward to meeting you in 14 days' time in Melbourne. Take care.

    Hello Greg, the tuesday tour of the archives was always a pleasure to read, even for a frequent reader of the forum. Older posts were brought to the attention of new members and started new discussions an additional info was brought to the forum. When I look at the list, there are topics I want to read again.
    Thanks for the impressive list. Hope to meet you some time when you can come out of your cellar.

    Hi Greg, being a newbie to this forum I only got to enjoy your Tuesdays for a few months - but I truly enjoyed them immensly. Thank you so much for teaching me a lot in less than 6 months :-)

    Hello Greg.

    I have learned so much in such a small amount of time as a member since the beginning of this year.

    Your postings have provided a wealth of information that has been invaluable to a newbe.

    Thank you for taking the time,energy and dedication to this weekly submission.

    It will be missed !!

    Hi Greg,
    What am I going to do now on Tuesday mornings? This is too abrupt. No weaning off? What about a re-run? They do it on TV. :-)
    It was excellent while it lasted. I will miss it. Many thanks for the effort.

    Thank you for your efforts, Greg.
    Because I have come along to the forum subsequently, I will take your list as a book of reference.
    Something will be missing on Tuesday morning!

    Kind regards

    Greg, From my first login to this forum, I always found the Tuesday Tour to be a consistent place where I could be educated in all things IWC. Thank you for your time, effort and erudite selections that gave all of us a weekly resource that was an enriching read! Tuesdays will be just a little bit drab without your tours.
