This is a Great Web Site!
« on: December 23, 2009, 07:51:12 pm »

  Today I had a need for an answer to a 3ph electrical question.  I typed in the computer and Googled for an answer.  Got to several web sites where you could ask questions and these "very knowing" electricians would answer.  So before I asked my question I searched for like queries.  After reading some of the responces I was afraid to ask them any thing.  These "very knowing" electricians must have been short fused a few times.  Them boys were quick to strip your wires and ground you out quick.  I got out of there most quick and went to some other sites.   They were not much better. 
  Just because a feller does not know every thing and ask a question that a "very knowing" person thinks is trivial it is no call to tear them apart and berate them for their lack in such matters.   
  Well I figured out what I needed to know and got the transformer wired and it works just fine with out letting the smoke out.  But to be able to come to the Forestry Forum where any one can ask a question with out being snipered from the woods and made to feel like a complete fool.  Comming here is like going home and sitting in my chair.  Just DanG. comfortable and a pleasant place to be.

    SO to Jeff and the other Admins thanks for a pleasant place to relax and get info.

I second that in spades.  Everyone was a total newbie at some stage in life.  Too bad sometimes knowlege and experience equate to arrogance and intolerance.

This forum, is without a doubt the greatest board I've ever been on...and being a 20 year old that grew up with a PC...I've been on a few.

I can say I'm honestly proud that Burlkraft got me started; good people, good info.

The best part is, they don't mind us rookie woodworkers.  :D

  I just do not get out much.  I live in Eden just outside the Gates of Heaven and it is hard for me to leave here.  Same with the Web.  I go to two or three places and that is pretty much it.  The Sponsors on FF do not really have to worry about their Brand being tied to some poor web site that will reflect badly toward them.   Just like here sometimes I have to leave to realize how good I got it.
  Yes we got it made here.  So much experiance and knowledge from all walks of life and regions of the World and you are not asked for your credit card or PayPal account number.   
   I have met many members and done some Piggy Roast over the years.  Never once have I met anyone and not liked them right away.  Why I have met Yankee's that were quite pleasent and fun to be around.  Though different in may ways we share a like minded course in life.

  ( remember these folks on the left of the screen make this all possible and when you do business with them let them know that you appreciate their support)

                                Remember we are all in this together!

That was better than the Spartan speech.

Well put Ark. The sponsors can always use help too. Times are tough.
