marc,

you run a pretty tight ship and i mean that in a most positive way.

Many thanks Harvey. I try to make it a place where people can interact openly exempt of egos, troolers, flamers, spammers, and a lot of the usual fanfare you have in public online communities. I didn't used to need to have so many site controls in place. But as the internet grows and expands with more people out there who often tend to try to exploit and abuse public resources, I had to take a more proactive role to keep the community open to everyone in a way that people can continue to enjoy it who are here to make meaningful exchanges. Thanks again for your thoughts.

Also, I can say that I have seen site traffic increase over the last 3 months. Even though the new membership is not increasing that much, the traffic increase shows people find the site as a useful resource for information, which is great.
