Seems to me that some of the strength of this board is that we have recognizeable folks with traits that make them more real

This leads to the development of a virtual community which is inherently a more comfortable group to participate in and contribute to

This is a characteristic that was certainly impossible back at oh-so-peachy house and in my opinion is a distinct positive

Those who are so rule bound and straight laced that a slight off topic deviation during a weekend triggers a response to tell-on the miscreants is pathetic

YMMV.......
