To list all the things that are good and "right" concerning this message board would fill the servers' hard drive, and indeed has.

Aside from the obvious mass of work done by intrepid individuals on nearly every aspect of energy production, judicious application, storage, innovation and distribution there remains the personal stories of overcoming long odds and accomplishment which inspire even more such examples. The open source nature of these stories and the unselfish sharing of detailed information provides a knowledge base surpassing any "for profit" or governmental entity of which I am aware. The sheer willingness to help and patiently instruct those seeking to better understand the vast base of knowledge contained here is awe inspiring. To be a very small part of the grass roots effort to make a difference in the way the world works is something I consider a high honor and a distinct privilege.

All of this is a matter of self supporting truth.

However this message forum must internally correct issues that detract from this world treasure. The community of contributors at large, and individual responsibility, demands a proactive nature to assure a continuation of this treasure. Failure to act on the rare occasions when these detractions arise is even more detrimental than any over reaction.

As is evidenced by the recent events here we not only see that the community responds but the source of contention is resolved. Without such self correction we descend into  a chaotic state and our treasure is tarnished. This conflict resolution process is possibly the most valuable of all the jewels in the crown that is Fieldlines.
