While I essentially agree with every category you list, I think it's crying shame it has thusly evolved. I haven't been here an overly long period myself, and I enjoy the board enough to participate a decent amount. I have learned more here than I have given, no doubt. I have also taken a couple of lumps. I can only think of one authority way up in the clouds of his own opinions who is from outside the US, all other members from outside the US seem to be glad to be a part of the board and to contribute what they can. A goodly amount of that data has been very good data, even the sometime broad sword swinger. Good well thought out post, Kerryman.
