This is a post that had me thinking for a couple of days. I first thought to thanking Thirsty (is he the moderator?). I, unfortunately, next thought that I am not (think Captain Farrell) worthy of such a ("regular") distinction as I am not on the, for example, Mature Gentlemen's (the Gordon Geckco of our world) level as to the issue of experience. This is not meant as any slight to the "MAN." However, at least to me, the multiple (boards also) women and high # that he reviews (free membership to TBD by the way) in say one week is a bit intimidating. Am I worthy of a post in the face of such greatness? This may be more my insecurity (good sentence to focus on in a rebuttal. Nevertheless, I would just like to say that we, think island of misfit toys, should post our thoughts.
P.S. I may be the only insecure person in this hobby. A (Jamie).
I know "regular" is a loaded term. I realize that, in any message board community, for every person who posts, there are probably 10 times as many people who faithfully support the community by reading the messages. If requirement for a place in the "hobby" community was based on resources and opportunity, I would probably be the last person who felt welcome here.
The last thing I want to do is intimidate anyone into thinking that their place here has less value than another who is either more active in the hobby itself or more active as a poster. Participate in whatever way and as often as you feel most comfortable.

Excellent post. The fact that I have posted more often recently is an MAJOR GECKO indication that agree. It is like (here I go) the first amendment, the NY times cites to Bartletts on "Familiar Quotations" but you just know that the, for example, Red Sox Media Guide will better indicate whether Fred Lynn will be a major player in the 75 series. I know the contradiction. Thanks Thirsty. I know it would be easier to see all ten and then decide. Nevertheless, I have to think ten and then see one or two. Hard decision. A (Jamie). Oh yeah, my new dork tag line is, Americana. That is courtsey of the main dork. Figure that one out an I will comp a visit to the provider of your choice. Email is [email protected]. MG you can't play. Plus, can't be a porn star. Good luck.
