The forum certainly wouldn't be the same without people like Nige, Nate, Ash and a8tech -- together they provide a wealth of information that is an absolutely priceless resource for the forums viewers.
Nigel has always been around and willing to advise anyone and asks for nothing in return; a true asset to the forum. I've heard nothing but raving reports of Nigel in his work and his service and to hear otherwise through a forum post baffles me. Nigel has an enormous amount of respect from a lot of people on this forum and that's for a very good reason.
