@ Augustus: An excellent finale of what was an excellent progress through the ETL! Congratulations, you should be rightfully proud of your accomplishments! I sure hope you are around when the final report comes out (Aug 3 most probably). Now do whatever RL has set out for you - you need the rest from the brush! 
Thanks Semper! I've only a recently started actually contributing to the BnC forum (before last january, I posted two pics in 2012) and I have to say it's been such a pleasure being part of this community. I've made many friends, enjoyed looking at many superbly inspirational pictures, had tons of laughs, gotten lots of very positive and constructive feedback on my own contributions, and can only hope my contributions have been received similarly by the Frater.
And the ETL has skyrocketed the volume of all these positive experiences. I've had an incredible work-rate. It's a true testimony to the whole BnC forum that we can 'compete' in such a warm, friendly, quirky, supportive and inspirational way. A big shout out to Captain Semper, who tirelessly worked to make the ETL possible. I'm in awe of his ability to stay in touch with all the Frater in the different strategiums, update us every week, keep us all motivated, competitive and have the experience still be fair and fun for all.
THANK YOU AND WELL DONE MATE!!
