Ditto, ditto, ditto to everything!!! I learned so much I keep a Word notebook of all the stuff I learned and may need one day because I don't want to forget or miss something that may be useful to me at some point.
This is a lot like a cocktail party- you walk here and there, talk to lots of people, get to laugh, interact with some you like right away, some you may want to smile at but move away from after a moment or two, and some you want to stand clear from. And some whose opinion you come to trust or mistrust over time- either because they like EVERYTHING or because they like VERY LITTLE. But through it all, I learn a lot. I love the interaction and it's the first thing I turn to when I finally hit the comfy chair at night to see what I've missed. It's the water cooler at work in a place I don't work yet. It's the party I can't attend because I haven't moved down full time yet. It's the party line I listen in on. It's dinner time conversation at the grown up table. It's all fun no matter what the topic. I love it and I feel so grateful for all the new contacts and all I've gleaned from being here.
