I did,I was new to computers,thought I'd give this a try.Didn't know what forums were about,thought I'd just come on check mail.I have made 6 freinds,not just aquiatances which I have also made.Some freinds I have made think like me or live somewhat near me.Some are of opposite views and live across the sea.Both have made my life richer and thanks to all you who have made me laugh or smile,though you didn't know it,I reall needed it. to the people here .
If memory serves me, I'm closing in on 2 years here. It's a treat to be able to communicate with people from all over the planet. The UK members, rather new here, are like a breath of fresh air. I must admit that being brought up in French Canada and within that culture, I was taught to dislike the British. Despite our delusions of how we grow and mature, childhood thought formations die hard.
Live and learn, then learn again, and again and again.
I feel alot of people dont want to talk to new people because they have there own group of people, it would be nice if they said hi every now and then.

It's like real life, you have to put forward some effort and show your staying power, I've only been on this site for a couple of months and in the beginning it was a little tough, but keep posting, keep interacting and pretty soon you start to find people you enjoy conversing with, laughing with, even arguing with... it's worth the effort, I've met some really wonderful people here and hope I get to meet some of them in person!
