Almost too good to be true

This site that is. Good info, good pics, good people. Unlike some other boards where I'm a member, (non-musical) everyone here checks their ego at the door and genuinely offers help and answers to all.

Elsewhere the flames, personal attacks and "That's nothing, listen to this" type of attitude really degrade the experience, at least for me. It's amazing (amusing?) how many members use the forums as a place to vent their own issues or just to beat on another member that they don't like. I've watched it go down too many times and it gets tired fast

I feel proud to be apart of this "Family". My thanks to all.
J.R.

BTW, this may not have been the right forum for this post but I felt I would reach the most of you here. If it gets moved, sorry my bad.

And this is the ONLY board I'm a member of!
I check in occasionally on my local music board,but this is such a cool place to talk to someone who shares the same interests as you,that I come here as many times a day as I can!
When Letterman comes on my wife is all about the T.V.so,as my last relaxing moment before bed-time,I wind down with ya'll.
The post's about the Rolling Stones Tele had me laughing so hard last night I was crying!
The stuff about the "non-select"amps,was killing me too.
This IS the coolest board anywhere on the web!
I've said it before,but I'll do so again,Proud to be here Fella's!

But is it really surprising; I mean that the greatest guitar ever made should bring people of such caliber together? I think not! :D
