Sybilla,
Thank-you for your kind words.
I believe in sharing what I have learned. I walked around in a desert of ignorance for many years before the internet made it possible to exchange ideas. I remember just how grateful I was to find something so really valuable- how precious it was to me.
There are many other Fora that seem to have more participation and excitement- but look at the content and quality. Many people thrive on the in your face "your mother wears combat boots" kind of discourse. The boards light up and the brass knuckles come out. Contributors try to outdo themselves with clever repartee and downright salacious and pornographic comments. I lasted in one of those about two weeks and found I learned nothing at all.
We have a wealth of very fine artists here, not just moderators as members. I think they as well could start more topics- research them as well. Sometimes we have time just to referee.
