As do I. The best part about the group was people sharing their
innovations and creative solutions and inspiring the newbies and regulars
alike.

Well let's hope that it will be again.....the other thing that would be
great is an environment where if someone has a different experience they
won't get shot down in flames for suggesting what works for them.....but
if they suggest this in an inflammatory manner then it is a different
matter....it is a great shame that people cannot see the difference
between discussion and personal attacks.....on a moderated group it has to
be said, that the fire will be taken out of the posts....it might not get
quite as lively but certainly will promote civil discussions and exchanges
of ideas....
================
If the disagreements remain RESPECTFUL there should be no problems. It was
the lack of respect for those who were disagreed with that caused so much
flaming and hard feelings over the years here. Being called an a$$hole (and
worse) simply because you have a different viewpoint is absurd and
guaranteed to either flare tempers or drive people away. Either way the
group loses.
