I could play (and played at first) the game without this forum easily. The atmosphere here is just very 'positive' (cannot think of a better word in English). Thanks guys for making it a nice place to come by. Keep it up

There's nothing wrong with your English. That is a good word to describe this forum. I stay here also for similiar reasons.

Hello.

I am an uncouth barbarian, completely devoid of manners or dignity. The other members of this forum are a shining example of humanity, and when we are not talking about politics, its truely a pleasure to bask in the glow of your collective presence.

The only reason I return to this place, and hence to PBW, and therefore the only reason that I continue playing this game, is that this is such a rational and mature community of people. Everyone here is willing to hear out others and will generally approach a discussion with reason and rationality.

Sometimes when topics drift towards politics or religion or other things unfit for polite public conversation, things get out of hand. But never as out of hand as they do in other places and with lesser mortals.

Often, I am guilty of behaving in a less than desireable manner, saying things that are less than constructive, or just acting like a downright foolish and rude person. I am always astounded that you people continue to put up with me, and continue to suffer my presence when it would be much simpler to ask me to leave.

In some ways, I feel like you all are the family I never had, even though I'm the step-child you never wanted.

A solid 90% of the above text was candid and serious. The remaining 10% was designed to give you a laugh. It is a pleasure participating in discussion with all of you, and I am glad we can all step back from the more heated discussions in the end, and remain on good terms.

Again, you people are all the reason why this Forum is what it is.

Agrees with narf. What is that stuff in Puke's avatar, and where can I get some?

[President_Elect_Shang]

I am truly humbled by that puke, it is my hope that I can uphold your sentiment and not shame myself foolishly more than I feel I have already done.

Thank you, I mean that.

So FyreR K, you started out by saying “Just need to add my two cents” (equals $.02) but you ended by saying Just my two half cants” (equals $.01), I hope you are not looking for that other penny back as I have spent it already, Narf said I could so I did.

I do like the emotion icons (Atrocities comment), but I prefer to use them on a very restricted bases so that if they are read in my Posts than others will know that is just the sentiment I intended.

George, they still have Air Force and Marines here for assorted training, but most (I could be wrong) is done on the other respective Posts, honestly I have never checked to say with certainty.

Narf said I could so I did.

DID NOT!!

Hi all!
I must have missed some of the delicate discussions as I'm very busy at the moment.
I love the board for the people here and they way we can usually discuss things. There are very few other Boards that mature as this one.

Telephone Wire? Could it be something a little closer to the ground, say a cloths line? You know, me and heights, we don’t agree.
