    It's easy to "like" someones post...or say something nice here because its a great positive atmosphere. But I wondered what would happen when you scrape away this "surface" of niceness.

    I've had numerous conversations lately with people on our forum, both through private messages and on the phone and someday I hope to make it to a GTG to meet some of you guys and gals in person.

    I'm sure, to probably no one's surprise, think we really do have a bunch of decent, good people here! It helps you believe in the goodness of man.

    The fact that so many "pay forward", step up to help neighbors and give gifts to others here only adds to that good feeling. :)

    There is much worse things than bad apples, even bad apples sometimes have a good core. See there Eric.

    Schlot is right on we got a darn good flock overall, but it's just a fact that every flock has a few black sheep. :hair:
