I don't need assistance but I wanted to express my gratitude, and looking over the various forum topics I was unable to find anywhere else suitable.  I am very sorry if I am violating any protocols by posting here; if I am I hope I can be forgiven.

I just installed using BWS, at the "Standard" install level.  I experienced no real problems that I couldn't deal with on my own, and I am far from expert at installing mods.  I have since spent about 10 to 15 hours in gameplay, again with no real problems.

I am very impressed with the power and functionality of BiG World - to create something so extensive and possessing such capability, and to write companion documentation so efficacious that even a real noob like me can employ it virtually effortlessly, had to be monumental tasks and they have been well and truly accomplished.  To Leonardo Watson, Leomars, and everyone else involved in its inception and development - and I know there are many but I have not yet found the names of all the people who have worked on this and to whom I owe my thanks - I would like to express profound gratitude.  I can only imagine how much time and accumulated knowledge and skills this massive, incredibly effective project must have taken, as well as the true depth and breadth of expertise you must all possess.  I read the entire BWS PDF document provided to me via this site along with the install, and the amount of work that had to go into such a complex project is apparent.

Thank you also to all of the talented and capable people who have written the various other mods.  You took a game I liked but abandoned 8 or 9 years ago and turned it into a masterpiece of gaming enjoyment.  Your imagination and creativity and your generous contribution of your time and work have created useful, fun, profoundly wonderful and often witty and humorous products, and I am so happy you share them and that I get to enjoy them.  Thank you so much.

I really want to say to all of you, including the kind people who maintain this website, that I appreciate the time, energy, knowledge and ability you have put into your work, to be enjoyed at no cost by the gaming community.  Your generosity and abilities leave me speechless (and I am a talker).
