july16:
when i first started visiting this forum, i was a passive visitor. but then i slowly started getting sucked into it. the main reason was to get information in the beginning, but slowly i started noticing the posts of some great people who had good knolwledge and the urge to contribute and moreover style in their words. you are certainly one of those individuals. you have helped innumerable folks here. besides helping others you were one of the wise pillars of this forum. with so much love for his country and his fellow countrymen. i can never forget your private message, and if you allow me i want to share it with everyone here.
folks, july16 volunteered to send me the tape of the india match and i had suggested to pay him for the material cost. this was his response:

Dont worry about it, just send me your address.
The best thing you can do to repay me is just keep on giving the best advise, to the newbies.
I am not gonna be around for long, and would appreciate your efforts.
Its a tedious journey, I dont know if you have followed my case or not. It was a Trip to Hell and Back.
But I hope no one has to go thru it, and advisers like you do help, so I will take that as my payment.

july16, you do not need my endorsement but you certainly are a fine man. full of positive energy and love for life. it has been a pleasure to interact with you. our interaction was short but memorable. thanks for including me in your list of names.
you have had quite a journey for your pr, i hope you can sit back and relax for a while. then may be i will see you in a few years on the citizenship board.
On the lighter side: I agree with dma_va (or at least i would like to think so) that you will not be able to stay away from this place for a long time. your 'family' will haunt you
by the way, your rd was in august. is july 16th your birthday?
