Ladies and Gentlemen, my dear friends!
This is overwhelming - thank you, thank you, thank you!
It is almost impossible to express my appreciation in the Audiocademy Award "Member Of The Year 2016". I am not quite sure if I really deserve this honour because I am nothing else but the mirror of the finest people in this forum. You all know that I have only little technical know-how to offer, but my knowledge about music might be acceptable. What I actually have to offer is a big load of human warmth in rough times and I'm trying to decorate this human warmth with my sense of humour as often as I can.
I would like to thank God, Mommy, my proctologist, my Collins Dictionary, my Oxford Dictionary, Google, my Acer computer, my Fritzbox router, my Norton Security System and last but not least Warsteiner Brewery (et al) making "HarmanKardon Member Of The Year 2016" possible.
A very special thanks goes to Ernie. You, sir, carrying out this event, did a great job, as every year!
I wish I could share this wonderful moment with Ronnie. I really wish that.
Christoph
