[Talk Host]

This forum is for everybody. We all know that what is important to one, may not seem so important to another. There are thousands and thousands of topics posted on this forum, and at the time of each posting, the author felt a sense of what was important to them at that time. I don't believe that other members should begin judging what is important or not so important, therefore discouraging people from posting here.

If any member or guest has a question about life or living in The Villages, they may feel free to post it here without being judged by a panel of others. This is a good place to start any query at any time. That's the purpose of this forum. As one member put it, it's a Library. If you want to know something, how to do something, how to contact somebody or get something done, post it here. If your question or comment is within the bound of good taste and conduct, the administrators of this forum will not discourage you from posting. We want, and welcome, comments from new members.

(A personal side note)

I am a ham radio enthusiast. The largest ham radio internet forum is QRZ. I will no longer post there because the veteran members are not friendly to new posters. Every time I have posted a question there, I have been told in no uncertain terms to "figure it out myself," or "why are you posting that here, you are suppose to know that," or "to post here, you have to have thick skin." What kind of forum is that?????? For the record, Talk of the Villages will never be like that as long as I am one of the administrators. I will not allow it. This forum is for everybody.
