1. Congratulations! I’ve been a customer here for a bit short of 11 years, never found a reason to complain, and found numerous reasons to cheer. Thanks!

3. Wow, what a great milestone. I hadn’t stopped to consider how long I’d been a customer till Tom mentioned it in the previous comment. At over 15 years, this is likely the longest I’ve ever been subscribed to a particular service. I’m sure I’ll be with y’all for the next 20!

4. Wow, congratulations!

   Been with you for 13 years, and no expectation that’ll change. You may not be able to retire on the revenue from me, jdw, but I do recommend NFSN at every opportunity, so maybe a few more (richer) souls have ended up with you over the years because of me.

   Here’s to the next 20!

6. Wow! Happy anniversary jdw and crew! 🥳 I just passed 10 years as a very satisfied customer.

   You guys are amazing, and I wish you nothing but the best. Here’s to another 20 (heck, make it 200) years! 🥂

   Now, I gotta go change my password. Apparently I’ve never done that. 😬 Shame on me.

10. Hearty congratulations.

    14 years here; your 20 years is a very long time in the era of the internet. A delight to see no change to your ideals and original commitments despite the pressure and challenges and at the same time the nicest incremental changes to your services.

    Thank you for all those years of peace and stability and WORTH.

12. Congrats!

    … BTW, is there a business continuity plan? You know, for when NFSN is about to celebrate a centennial.

    There is, but don’t let that stop you from wishing for my good health and long life. 😉 -jdw

16. I’ve been a customer for **checks account page** 13 years! My only complaint is that, because of NFSN’s versatility, I never bothered to learn how to run a VPS.

17. Wow! Keep it up, NFSN. I’m grateful that we still have this straightforward and dependable service.

    According to my old emails, I signed up 16 years ago… to the day! What a fun coincidence, anniversaries all around. 🙂
