Just a quick opinion- actually more personal than that. This site has been a great place for me since I joined, but especially since June 2nd. My L5 disc ruptured and I had a back operation (you may know this already). But following my surgery, I acquired a spinal infection that led to Sepsis. I had been on antibiotics 24-7 for 13 weeks. Last week's MRI showed that I now have discitis and it may be a new infection.
Nonetheless, you guys and this site have been the best medicine for me.
I say this not for any other reason than I love this site. I love posting pics, and commenting on your pics. Everyone here has been really great. I would hate to see it fall because people are getting offended or offensive. It is an extremely fun outlet for me as it is for you, I am sure.
Maybe it was "cooler" before I joined; I don't claim to know what it was like then, but I love it today. I consider all you guys and gals my pals. I have my wife and family read the comments you guys give me. It's great.
We all love Joes. Where/ when else could we associate with a world-wide community about our distinct hobby than here. Thanks for doing what you do.
I think nearly all of us are adults. We have homes, jobs, kids etc. Hobbies always take a back seat to our lives. In my opinion, we should not criticize each other when we don't have time to contribute. Everyone should be welcomed at any time.
