Very well said! I have been a ToTV member for years, but a resident now for only 5 months. Although some topics may be old news for many here, they can be valid and timely for newbies, especially after actually residing in TV. I have seen a few OPs recently being skewered for innocent mistakes - and...must say...the pickle-thing is already worn out.

I've learned so much from this forum and enjoy so many folks who take part. We enjoy a joke or wry comment but some of the know-it-all slamming can be a turnoff.
