Back home here...

>Aloha All!
I haven't posted in quite a while, but I've been keeping up on my reading and following of the posts here, and I now understand why WC is my home page, this place is home.
I frequent other sites and forums about other topics, but none is like being here. EVERY post is informative and positive here. Negative responses are kept to a minimum here. The advice and the help is always friendly. The pictures that are posted here are always posted and responded to with excitement, and I think that is outstanding.
We (I would like to include myself with the rest of you if that is OK) are all passionate about our shops, tools, projects, whatever. Disputes are handled with decorum and respect, with the ability to agree to disagree.
Questions are asked and answered without fear of ridicule. I have been unable to find that elsewhere on the net, at least to the level and standard that is maintained here.
Many of you I have known for years now. we share more than just woodworking here at WC and the days gone by on The Pond, we are a family. The kind of family that always welcomes you back home. And I got to tell ya, it's good to be home.
Thank you Ellis (and Wayne from BP) for creating a place where Neanderthals are still welcome.
