I would just like to say how much this forum is so much more enjoyable to me now than FGI ever was. Not only is it more enjoyable but much more informative also.
Less mud slung mechanical arguements occur here than FGI because people seem more open to other peoples thoughts and listening to them, it is a nice small community. Im even becoming more open minded myself namely because members have gained my trust and while I may not always agree a few members I respect their views that I do sometimes find I re-evalute old conceptions of my own and sometimes find merit in their arguements depending on the outlook of the advice given and sometimes even agreeing with them.
Initially I attacked this forum because of my peave with FGI I have over a few issues within that forum and the members and one member in particular. I saw this as a branch of FGI and was acting out of hurt. It is much more peaceful/refreshing here and while the posting level may not be so high, I find the quality of the posting much higher than it ever was at FGI.
There is no competition of who's the best. No more flaming ego's and no longer do we have Rory just doing a one word post just so he can have the zillionith post. No longer do we have constant dayly innane posts like - whats your favourite tellitubby.... - in the clubhouse.
I would like to thank Brian for providing us with his knowledge and this forum. I always like the part of the day when I come to look at the forum and see the new posts.
Im a pretty isolated person and apart from my girlfriend/fianc'e to speak to, I really don't have that much contact with outsiders and my internet talk becomes more important to me than many of you can realise and it means alot that no matter what, I can come here and read posts and enjoy/relax all the posts made than perhaps to the normal average poster.
Sincerely
Mathew
