When 'Streets first started this thread yesterday I read only one response from our friend Mal Hombre. I decided to sleep on it before responding as I was too drunk to do it justice. It looks like this could turn into the most successful thread yet, three pages in 24 hours
A fitting tribute to a cracking webite.
I have to thank rotobott for stealing my thunder.

They were the EXACT words my inebriated brain composed last night.
I've downloaded the porn, so why haven't I walked away? It's all you guys. The content attracts an older clientele who are usually more moderate in their responses so there's not that nasty edge you encounter elsewhere. I spend most of my time on the GD&N forums and it's nice that when someone disagrees with me, that's all they're doing, not entering into a point scoring fight.
You'll see above I've emboldened the letter '
A'.
I was once a member of a forum where a grammar nazi would have seized upon that mistake, detracting from the issue I was hoping to discuss. I wrote that not everyone has the benefit of a good education or English as their first language although all have equally valid opinions. They didn't agree. Academic snobs who've isolated themselves from a wider world view. I walked away from them and cancelled my subscription.
When I first joined VEF I was struck by the loyalty of its members and you all know why. VEF is a keeper. One thing that tickles me is that my profile says I'm a senior member, even though I've only been here four months.
Undeserved flattery but nice nonetheless.
