Speaking of quintessential....
I love how this thread, and the "now playing" thread are really great "captures" of our forum folks. Pretty much from day one of our opening the forum. They chart our history really well.
I have so many great memories of this place - not that it is going any where!
I just was reading a few older threads (looking for something...hrm...to no avail) and I thought it was really interesting to see how our informal banter goes back and forth, over years, over threads, over conversations and over arguments; yet the tone continues to have a good and positive "tone" amongst us. We all have our own voices that, even though we may not "hear" in person, come through here over time.
(Can you tell I studied Anthro/Soc?)
I get a little frustrated sometimes with the time this place takes - I haven't been working on what I should have been for the last hour, case in point - but this is a pretty cool place - that's the bottom line. Thanks for continuing to make it was it is - the BEST!
