It's like that old saying, deepzenpill......"still waters run deep".
Seriously, you are right, I don't jump on every thread even though I read the board every day. I like it when newer members get the opportunity to answer questions. It gives them the chance to become known, to be a part of the community, to pass on the knowledge they possess. This is how the brotherhood has always worked. The outside world is hostile to our way of life. It's important to have a place to go where we can find acceptance and understanding. I do post in those threads that I feel have not been adequately answered, or in which I have some unique information to offer.
