...my meager 500 posts pale with his 2500+ posts ...
Thanks for the kind words, Tim!
In my case, I'll have to try to live up to them! My "few hundred" posts don't make me knowledgeable on anything (it just proves that I don't know when to shut up!)
The give and take of this forum is what makes it such a valuable tool to all of us. I've learned a great deal from the thousands of posts others have made, and I learn still more researching and refreshing my memory before commenting on posts that interest me (sometimes I need do do a little more research before commenting!
)
Despite my limited experience in a variety of areas, that doesn't make me expert at anything (jack of all trades, master of none?) There's always somebody more knowledgeable for me to turn to, and that's one of the things that makes this forum so valuable to us all. To me, the back and forth sharing of information with our peers is the one most valuable aspect of forum participation. I don't know any more than anyone else on the forum, but I do feel a responsibility to help anybody I can, whenever I can (Thanks, Mom, for instilling your values in me!) And yes, I do expect that they will help me when I need it!
I love this place, and I'm hopelessly addicted to it, so don't look for me to 'shut-up' anytime soon (my appologies to those who have wished for just that!)
