Some of the old threads refreshed have reminded me of once regular posters who now post no more. I started here looking for answers to particular questions and didn't look at other threads until the whole outpouring of concern for 'Spaw in his illness made me warm to this community and I started to read the BS threads, get sucked in to the wacky humour in the Tavern, NYCFTTS etc.
I feel I get the best of the exchanges as I, having no musical skill or wisdom to impart, have learned an awful lot of useful things from the serious threads (and picked up a few new jokes) while all I have contributed in return are some terrible old jokes and lame anecdotes.
I hope none of my contributions have been responsible for anyone leaving, it's bad enough that my singing can empty a room!
