Yeah, I have to agree, this board is now one of my favorites. Most of the others I use are Perl programming boards so their not really what you'd call fun, but I've gotten a bit put-off over the years when a few members beat up on someone for minor transgressions.

My first post here was deleted and I was pretty disappointed about that. I wrote one of the moderators and asked about it and the discussion that ensued was very friendly and welcoming. I think it was TomD I conversed with. Anyway, I was invited to re-post with just a minor change which was a reasonable request. After years of watching heads get hammered over at the Perl boards I can tell you it was a refreshing change.

As a final note, I've watched the participation dwindle to almost nothing over at those once busy Perl message boards. It's to bad too, there were a lot of brilliant people that came there with high hopes of sharing and left all bruised up.

So, Thank you, and keep up the good work!
