I am on several other forums, not winemaking guys, and what I have come to really appreciate and be thankful for is the generally quick responses and pleasant attitude on this forum. It wasn't until I started going to other forums for learning a few other areas in life and wow, what a difference.
Some are very slow, if at all to respond to your questions. Some forums do respond but it may only be from one or two members when there are thousands of other members on there. Granted many are a quick stop, get a question answered and gone forever but you should be able to get a few different views.
There are forums out there that are IMO, poorly designed and difficult to navigate through or be able to read. Some forums offer tutorials but assume that you are already fully knowledgable to some extent.
Attitude! Some moderators are aggravated to answer questions and it shows in their replys. If you don't enjoy answering or moderating don't bother. The world has greatly changed over the years and now we are forced to browse the internet for answers and how nice it is when you can find your answers or get ideas quickly and in a friendly manner.
When I came on here Wade, Julie, Dan, Tom, Luc and a few others were the ones who I saw answering many questions. Now we have numerous folks on here (too many to name) that answer and assist other wine makers who are just starting out. You don't have to wait until tomorrow to get your answer. You may get a few replies or many and often times the thread will evolve into additional ideas or opinions.
How nice it is to be on this forum and I can say I have met and socialized with many wonderful new friends. The only sad part is some of you are too far away to meet, but perhaps someday.
To all of you who think nothing about taking your precious time out to help all of us thank you sincerely! I do greatly appreciate all of your guidance and help.
Thank you very much again and TexBrew, excellent job on getting the forum up and running and updating often. Though you are behind the scenes your endeavors are appreciated as well.
You fellow wine makers are the best!
