Wow!!! It's a crazy world out there. Thanks to Steve and all the moderators!! I did not realize all the effort that goes into making this forum safe. Keep up the great work!!

I didn't realize all the "behind the scenes" work to keep this forum running for our benefit. Thanks for informing us and thanks a million Steve and Moderators.

It's all about money... 1c per click. 1,000,000 clicks = $10,000.
In order to get 1,000,000 clicks they have to get their link out to a hundred million different places. Emails, pop-up banners, Kilt forums... You name it but that's why they do it. To some people it's a living, to most people it's the absolute, most irritating aspect of being on-line. I'm grateful that they are kept at bay here, it must be a daunting task.

I never post just to post. If I read a thread and don't have a comment, I keep my mouth shut.

I see a lot of people post just to say something.

I guess my name will be removed from the member list shortly.

As you are clearly not a spammer or a bot Hutch I don't think you have anything to fear.

**turpin** · 6th October 10, 08:07 AM

I didn't know there were so many registered members!. When you're done, Steve, Can you enumerate the active members and total in good standing?

The forum rules and management make all the difference in keeping this a place that so many of us can feel safe, welcome, and respected. There's a genuine affection and respect on this forum that is priceless. Most of the time, none of us has any idea how much effort it takes to preserve it. Thank you.

What Barb and Hamish said. Thank you Steve, for keeping this forum safe and sound, and for enabling a community to function. It is well to let us see some of the nuts, bolts and moving parts from time to time, so that we can appreciate the investment of time, resources and caring. Regards, BYU
