Welcome to DBD. On March 8th, DBD celebrated it's 5th anniversary and PRiSM celebrated it's 2nd anniversary. Little did I know when I started both of these ventures just how much an impact they would have on my life and I'd like to thank each and everyone of you who have supported me over the years, with a special thanks to those individuals who have kindly shared their knowledge with me, and continue to do so. Thanks again for your support. Stay safe. :)
