Hey all, I know I haven't done much posting on the forum other than when I was going through a rough spot earlier this year (don't know if anyone remembers) but I still lurk in the shadows and read many of the posts. I have learned alot from this forum and greatly enjoy the rest of the site also.
I have also recently learned that my 15 year old nephew has also been enjoying the site after he found it through my browser's history when he was visiting a while back (sneaky twit :-/ ). He refuses to register or sign in, but tells me he loves the story shelf and has learned from the site too... he tells me that you can burn a candle at one end but can have "tons more fun" with the other end (he is standing here grinning at me like the devil as I type that, so I think I will have to go hunting the site later although I am pretty sure I have a good idea what that is all about).
Anyway, The forum has been getting a little rocky as of late, but I wanted to let you all know (and especially Timmy) that the site IS useful and used by more of us than those who spend their time yelling at each other in the forums. Right here you have 2 different generations that enjoy the site. The people that create havoc are in the minority I think and are inconsequential. Nobody here is either better than, or more important than anyone else here. Give each other a chance, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I occasionally like to write poems when I am in the mood and this one fits here:
The Star
So you think you're a star,
above all the rest?
Higher than high,
better than best?
Think the world will collapse,
without you around?
No stronger support beam
could ever be found?
Well here are some thoughts,
for one so naïve.
Some sobering words
that you may not believe.
Take a look at the sky
and I'll paint you a scene
that will knock you back down
to where you've never been.
See that small star,
the one off to the right?
That's YOU up there
shining with your meager light.
Now watch as the star suddenly
falls from it's place.
Streaking off through the dark
'til it's burned up in space.
Now look to where it
was once perched in the sky.
It left not a mark
to remember it by.
The universe needs more
than just one or two.
It relies on us all
and not just a few.
So next time your ego
may burst at it's seam,
come back down to earth
and work with the TEAM.

Appropriate or not, I felt it needed to be said.
I prefer guys that don't come in a box.
