I have participated in this site since shortly after its inception almost ten years ago, and have learned from and enjoyed my time here very much. Few of us originals still participate and to an oldtimer it now seems that short posts and the cheapest bourbon are what the members prefer to discuss. Some seem to find me a bit pretentious.....maybe I am.
I leave BE in your hands, use it as you find most enjoyable, while here, I did.
