Just browsing the forum while killing time before heading to meet Dan and drive down to the Little Lehigh this morning and I noticed that out of 42 people browsing the forum, 37 were anonymous.
Makes me wonder why? Some may be members that have not logged in, but I bet that is a small percentage.
It doesn't cost any $ to join. It takes very little effort, probably 3 minutes and hardly any personal information is requested.
Join the forum and contribute. The more information passed back and forth, the better the forum becomes. And this is a great forum already!
Even if you disagree with something you see posted here, comment on it. There have been great arguments to follow here by people much more knowledgeable than I am and I have learned from them. (There have been stupid fights as well, but you will have that)
IMHO, an argument is an exchange of ideas, information, perspective with the goal of changing someone's point of view on a subject. And being open to the possibility that (Gasp!) your point of view may be wrong. The inability to consider that you may be mistaken is when the argument degenerates into a fight.
Back on track time.
Don't just lurk, join, contribute, ask questions. Your questions will prompt discussion that we can all learn from. (just look at the number of responses to some of my own simple questions!)
Say hello. You'll make new friends. I have and look forward to making more.
Dave
