At the risk of completely overstepping my bounds, I do have two cents to add... I like the forum the way it is now. I lurked on and off a while back, and I actually found it to be quite an uncomfortable and intimidating place, which is why I never posted there before. Recently, on the other hand, I've found it to be more open and welcoming to the pathologically shy newbie.

And as for you, I very much value you and the generous postage and comments that you write. And I know I'm not the only person who thinks so. So there. :p

*hugs to you*
