A big thank you to all
Posted by Rene Schweitzer on Monday, June 18, 2007 2:50 PM
I want to extend a big "thank you" to everyone on this forum. Time after time, I see beginners post a question, and you go out of your way to help. You offer free advice, plants, extra parts, and open your houses to guests. It's a pleasure to moderate such a helpful bunch of guys and gals.

Sharing one's not so successful events, helps us all learn from the school of hard knocks.  Sharing our successes provides others with a different way of defeating the same problems. Besides that we have some "real fun" discussions around here.

Hi Rene

And what about the moderator who lets things go through there natural course and wander harmlessly off topic a little bit.

Which keeps the forum human

Who also is more than happy to throw her usefull My 2 cents [2c] in as well the moderation of the group, has just as much to do with the friendly atmosphere of the forum as our contributions do

So don't forget your share of the thanks from all of us to you.

regards John

Thanks??? For what, having fun?  This garden forum is a lot more "adult" than some of the happenings on the MR forum next door.  Perhaps we are older and wiser, or maybe just too tired to cause problems?  Either way, it's an enjoyable experience!

Jack, I couldn't have said that any better. I don't know what it is over there, but sometimes there seems to be almost a bad element. I've been guilty of being sucked in on more than one occasion. That's why I stay over here now.  All of you have made me feel very welcome.

Rene, for what it's worth...I'll add this as well.......I think a large reason this forum is so good natured is because of the relationship between it's moderator (you) and the members. You actually participate in ongoing discussions a good bit more than mods on the other forums. Perhaps they could take a lesson from you. You're like "one of the guys" so to speak. I think most everyone will echo my sentiments.

Robert (and others),

 Thanks for the nice comments. It's fun to participate, and I'm here to help!  You (plural) respond in kind by answering others' questions and reporting the odd 'off' post. That's what makes the forum go 'round!
