Congratulations to Sam, Abby, Tira and anyone else including participants and lurkers who have been a part of this forum's astounding success. Who woulda thunk it. It is my opinion that the cafe's success stems from an enormous interest in engraving and most of all Sam's vision to put together a professional, open, and friendly forum where all may share and feel comfortable and unthreatened. For those that may have felt that other engraving forums were dominated by a particular philosophy or mindset this forum has been a welcome retreat. Seeing as how we just hit 700 it would seem to me that anyone who messes with the friendly, open atmosphere would irritate 699 others. Not a good move. Sam said it best "There aren't any politics" Well done Sam.
Hi Lee,
I am new to all that goes on around here. I was reading your post and was curious about your comment about other forums. What other forums do you visit? Which one makes you feel "Threatened"?
What's up with that?
Would you please clarify.
Confused in Boston,
Gail
