As a newbie, in general, to posting on any forum, I completely agree with Dave's perception of AOS.
However, as someone who has been a past contenteous forum lurker, I can honestly say I do not have any problems with the admin staff or the way in which this forum is handled by the admin personnel, the moderators, or the members.
If I do not agree with the input of anyone, I have no problem dismissing their views as egotistical crap and I move on.
This does not mean I have a fear of inciting a combative discussion, it just is not why I am a member.
I am here to learn and I shall particpate as I see fit. There are entities at this site I will never communicate with directly and others I feel are people better than myself and whom deserve my attention.
I have no issues with getting around the forum, I seem to be able to move directly to the sections which interest me the most and I can review the posts of the members whom I enjoy hearing from.

I want to thank all the members for either pissing me off or placating my advanced humor.

Cheers,

Terry
