This is the reason I created these forums -- the others repeatedly devolve into stupid anonymous shouting matches. The kind of thing that would never happen if people were together in a room, talking. So, when I set up this forum, one of my primary goals was non-anonymity and accountability.
You guys are great. Don't thank me, thank yourselves!
At first, I spent more time moderating here, to make sure that the vibe didn't get too negative. I've only had to excercise ban rights *one time* (a rabid warez promoter)! And only nix'd a topic once or twice (also warez promotion). Otherwise, you guys have been the most civil, self-moderated, mutually assisting bunch of folks in any forum I've ever seen.
Fantastic! Kudos to all of you, especially our most truly obsessed pulsar gurus, without whom these forums would be a much less useful place - go check the top 10 at the <a href="
