I know I am not alone in thanking the owners of this site for having the good idea to buy this business from the previous owner and maintain it in such a way that it has grown a lot.
I suspect that the problems we have been experiencing were due in part to growth and the increasing demands of thousands of us logging on at one time.
I for one appreciate the way the site has been maintained and the interchanges have been monitored in such a way as to be fair, and protective of all of us.
I know that this is a business and it is owned by nice people who have added many advertisers over time and the advertisers are very wise too, because obviously, this forum is reaching thousands of people.
For the frequent posters and the frequent readers it is an invaluable way to give and receive valuable information, practice our skills in debating and gather together around a virtual "cracker barrel". I have met some of the most interesting people on this forum and have caught glimpses of their real selves as they post; good, bad and indifferent. We are all mostly happy either to be here together in this physical place, The Villages, or in dreaming of moving here..or just trying to figure out whether this is a good dream to have.
I find this forum fascinating, obviously, and I know you all do too. I don't know exactly what unseen forces are causing the snafus we have experienced lately, but I trust the good judgment already shown by the owners to straighten it out.
As one of my favorite posters, Bogie Shooter, frequently reminds us and now me...
Patience, Grasshopper.
