I really mean it! I've learned more on these boards in two months than I have on my own in the last year. I've never had an experience where been flamed or read a flame war. I'm a relative novice in video production but everyone who has responded to my posts has treated me with respect and as a professional.

I really appreciate that.

Thanks everyone!

Many thanks, Dave -- that's much appreciated.

Our flame-free, "real names" professional environment insures a productive atmosphere conducive to learning, networking and exchanging ideas. While we're not the biggest board on the web, I like to believe we're the best. The high caliber of our members delivers that. So give yourself a pat on the back -- because this place is what you make it.

I second that, Chris. These boards have become my must-read each day (actually multiple times a day). Even if I don't have the time for the news, I still make time for this.

You also do a great job running the joint, helping people get files posted, etc. Thanks again and congrats to such a successful online community.
