Submitted by Rob Richards on Tue, 05/09/2006 - 10:25pm.Thank you all, from Rick and Sarah to TFI and White Feather for taking part in this. We're breaking ground, and, I think, changing things, just by having discussions on this site.
Bravo!
Submitted by Sarah on Tue, 05/09/2006 - 10:53pm.Kudos especially to Rick, for creating and maintaining this space, his vision. Thanks on back to you Rob and I must include Steve too and Emmett and so many others, we each bring our unique selves to this co-experiment.
We've weathered misunderstandings, contentious debates, and Neo-Nazi harassment. And we didn't implode during those 30 some straight days of winter rain. We have our very own mascot/arch-enemy : Caimans. Plus we have will_is_ok, so everything is indeed truly okay.
Thank you all
