The only thing keeping me here is that I believe in amongst the rubbish currently being posted there is some seriously useful, interesting, helpful and humourous bits that often help make my day. Plus I get to socialise when I'm not flying with one great bunch of mates. That's my reasoning at the minute. If people are not careful this will become a wasteland rather than the Elysium it currently is.

Exactly my sentiments, I have gleaned a great deal of sage wisdom, tips and camraderie from the short time I have been on these forums and would hate to see it devolve into something like the AR-15 forums.

Amen. in the short time i have been here i have met some great people and learned a great deal just reading. it would be sad to see anyone leave because of a few moments of emotion...which no one is immune and everyone suffers from time to time.
