A note from the mods

[J.Andersons]

Thanks to all friendly answers who gave me on my questions. This forum are friendliest of all I participated, just few minutes ago decided to donate for HF

I'm a relative newcomer,....but I appreciate the vibes of this place.
There's rarely ever any reason not to maintain civility.

I've been checking in several times a day since joining,....and have become addicted. You're gonna have a hard time getting rid of me now!

I am pretty new here & have nothing but thank yous for the members.

I have found HF very informative polite & am looking forward to meeting some of you someday.

I have witnessed the concerns mentioned on several other forums over the years, two come to mind... one lost a lot of dedicated, loyal & promotive members, who may still lurk & read, but rarely post anymore, that forum is NOTHING like it used to be.
The other one also lost members & has become a "good 'ol boys" club. where when someone new comes on & asks a question, they get either no response or the more common response of "this has been covered before, do a search" Well things change & so do some peoples opinions, so old threads are not always the most current or best information.

So as a past moderator of other forums I know it is a thankless & not very popular job at times. I haven't read anything that is alarming or offensive to me & reading this post tells me the moderators are doing a great job. Keep up the good work!
