Hello All

As everyone probably knows, I've been more of a lurker here than a contributor in the recent past...but I still continue to visit every day after almost five years as a member.

With all of the BBS's I am a member of (7), this one continues to be the most civil, most productive and most open and friendly that I frequent. I have noticed a somewhat negative element appearing recently however I attribute that to evolution of the board and the broader membership it has attracted. I feel that in the end, the community will continue evolve and be stronger for it.

(and if this post appears rambling and not pertinent, I've had a few rum-and-cokes tonight )
