great post!

one thing that is definitely noticeable, and i have picked up on since day one, is the willingness of forum members to help. you just don't see that on other forums - people instead prefer to bicker and questions are often met with "do a search, this has been discussed before". everyone here is very neighborly and always willing to lend a hand.

And you know this is somewhat part of the essence of it. Yes the same questions get asked over and over, but the willingness to answer those same questions again and again helps the others to have the answers when the next newbie comes along and asks the question. I can say without a doubt that I am a slow learn among other things I am slow at, plus I can be pretty thick too, and I definitly have gain a lot of my knowledge from the same questions. It works for me and I have never seen anyone say with any pretention that they should "go and search for it cause we have answered that question too many times". It may help that the search engine on here sucks  ;D but I have never seen any attitude from anyone. My hat is off to every member of this forum. P.S. God am I long winded, someone tell me to shut up would ya.  :-X

Agreed!

I _used_ to frequent a certain RV forum, but the flames and grumps got to be too much...

Not the same around here.

Hey Snelly, haven't seen you around much. How is the new one doing?

Other than direct family I have gained more here then anywhere else in the past year or two, with friendship being the center piece of the table. Now let's eat!!

Gus - I've been great, but super busy.  Ashlyn (Baby #2) will be here the beginning of July.  It's crazy how busy life has been for me.  I have been smoking though!  I have some pics that I need to post when I get some time.

I can not agree more , this forum  along  with bradley support means  so much more when people stop to take a minute to say  is there anything i can do and give you  a shoulder to lean on,  offer a few kind words  when some one is hurting,  family  or a friend is in the hospital or injured...  or a family  member has  passed.. it  means so much to have a  place that is like  family where we can vent a few issues  with out  having to worry about offending  anyone.


only thing I  can say is  Thank you  to one and  all
