Happy birthday Fred! This is a good moment as ever to thank you for BBO :P and especially that you actively participate in the forums to answer bridge-related question as well as software-related questions. We should not take it for granted when top players like you readily give their insights to (hopefully) improving players.

Happy Birthday and thank you.

I had been here since the beginning. I wonder what I did with all my time before you created BBO and BBF. Must have been a boring life.
Thanks for creating such a nice place.
Kind Regards

Happy Birthday, Fred, and congratulations again on the exciting moment this past weekend that there were over 15,000 players online at BBO at the same time.

I join JLall in curiosity about you not being here in Houston this week for the Lone Star Regional as I was looking forward to seeing you and thanking you in person for the excellence of BBO as a playing site and home base for a large portion of the virtual bridge world. Since I can't do that, please consider yourself heartily thanked here.

I never thought of Fred like an actual human being with an actual birthday - I thought he was this all-powerful superhero and all. Anyway, Happy Birthday Fred and thanks for BBO and BBF and BM and all your kind posts! :)
