Like Dave said, I was just informing of why my internet posting has been so sparse. TB doesn't need me to bash it; that forum speaks for itself. I appreciate the words of support and comraderie. Believe me, I have no desire to re-live in any fashion, the situations I encountered in that forum.
My only caution is to be VERY careful of those you put your trust in on any internet forum, myself included. Anybody worth talking to should have no problem proving their legitimacy and discoursing passionately without it being an issue. IOW, people who have nothing to hide don't have to keep secrets.
That's why I like the openess and laid-back nature of this place, including the clear limits on discussions and the lack of mob mentaility-pandering. That stuff is human nature, and it's only through discipline and respect that it is avoided. Especially since this also a sort of an indirect offshoot of another once popular forum that crashed and burned and hurt alot of people in the process.
