old F,
What's right with this board?
The people
The projects
The sharing of knowledge
The sharing of success
The sharing of failure
I check this board every morning before work, every afternoon after work, and usually before bed (for years). I love to see what people have built and are willing to share. I usually don't comment much but I feel 'involved' with the posters on the board. So much so that when I hear of a trajedy affecting someone, it bring tears to my eyes. And I have never laid eyes on anyone on this board!
I have learned enough to have running water with hot shower and flushing toilet, be able to flip on a light in the morning and turn off the light at night without going out to the barn and start/stop the generator at our remote farm. For that I am ever greatful to have found this wonderful forum.
I think that these 'flame wars' that get started usually happen when one person makes a rude comment to a post and it balloons from there. I was raised that if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all. Silence is golden.
If someone posts something ludicrus don't jump an them. Silence is golden!
I luv's this site
