Spamiam Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Perhaps it's perspective, having run political message boards as a hobby and working with irate web customers as a career for so long. It's just SO REFRESHING to meet people who are actually NICE to me on the web! Especially in noob status! And you folks are really SO NICE! Nobody's called me a moron once! I might just hang out with y'all for awhile! Quote Link to comment

+Renegade Knight Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 This is a good board. The only forum I've seen with less angst is the HP PDA forums. There is enough variety here to give a sence of community. Quote Link to comment
Spamiam Posted January 10, 2005 Author Share Posted January 10, 2005 lol! Really though, I've read through many of the threads on this site, many of the cache logs, sites elsewhere, and for real I'm impressed. I find myself in excellent company with geocachers, and I'm honored to be among you. I will do my best to reciprocate and to represent geocaching in like fashion. Thanks for the opportunity to find YOU! Quote Link to comment

I just took a look at your message board, it looks like a place where I can have a lot of fun. Nobody ever talks about politics here. Quote Link to comment
Spamiam Posted January 10, 2005 Author Share Posted January 10, 2005 (edited) Thanks! Come on over! You're most welcome! (but be warned - someone likely *will* call you a moron there - but most likely they'll be a moron. ) I'm introducing that board's members (and others) to geocaching as I learn, too! There's always room for one more hobby, right? Edited January 10, 2005 by Spamiam Quote Link to comment
rebapac Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 (edited) I'd like to chime in here with another word of welcome to the geocaching community. Welcome Edited January 10, 2005 by rebapac Quote Link to comment

+briansnat Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Spamiam thinks we're a swell bunch, yet we've had noobs come here and say they're quitting the sport because of tone in the forums. Go figure. I guess it a matter of perspective and some people focus on the good and others on the bad. Welcome to geocaching and the forums Spamiam! How could I not welcome someone who has my favorite canned luncheon meat product as part of his user name? Quote Link to comment
+sept1c_tank Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Moron! (Please don't adhere to anything I say) Watch out for spam. And welcome to our outrageous little game! Quote Link to comment
+Moose Mob Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I guess you haven't read through all the threads! if you'll excuse me, it's almost monday and as a special birthday gift i have to go kick some puppies. And welcome to the obsession! Quote Link to comment

+mtn-man Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Well, at least you can still say that nobody called you moron once. They have now done it several times! Remember to have fun. Avoid the angst! Down with angst!!!! Quote Link to comment

+Squrl Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I'm happy and warm inside. I started in Okinawa, worked my way through Texas and now on the East Coast and I would have to agree that geocachers and this site is good to go, with great people! Quote Link to comment
+carleenp Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Don't listen to anyone who tells you that I am nice. I am not. I am evil. I flame people all the time. Anyone who says otherwise is a moron...... Welcome aboard. Run from the angst and all will be fine. Quote Link to comment

I might just hang out with y'all for awhile! REALLY?????? I've been part of a couple woodcarving groupls for several years. I've almost stopped coming to and reading the goecaching forums. It has appeared to me that there's a lot people being at each other's throat here. So, I guess there's a lot worse out there. Guess I'd better stay here is you nice folks. Byron Quote Link to comment
+woof n lulu Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 (edited) Boy if some thing these forums are cutthroat, they should go read some of the cooking/recipe boards....... Makes this place look like a playground...... Welcome aboard Spamiam...... Edited January 11, 2005 by woof n lulu Quote Link to comment
