The TFP is one of the best forums on the net. There is organized chaos and a when we do run afoul, and I think most of us have at one time or another, the mods have, mostly gently, reeled us in with a polite, "Cut the crap".
I have to say the best thing I ever did is to get addicted to the IRC channel. It gives those that are on during the day a chance to hear me bitch about the smoking lady and talk me in off the ledge, and at night it's a wonderful distraction from the real work I didn't get done from earlier in the day when I was IRC at work
Thanks, Hal for making and maintaining such a great forum and thanks to all the mods for all you do, both on TFP and #tfp.
