Being a member of the Open Forum, I miss the sense of family and community

but without the sarcasm, hostility, insults and mob mentality. I find this Forum

to be the calm oasis of pleasant and intelligent discussion that many of us need

to spend some happy time away from the cares and stress of life. In the short

time I have been here, I find that no one has to pretend to be what they are not.

Folks here can disagree without being disagreeable. Folks here seem tio be real people,

and not a part of a mob of attention seeking elitists. For all of the above, I am very glad

to be a part of this Forum.

Well said, this is why I stop in here too.  A mature and honest discussion can be refreshing.
