yeah, we promote a good vibe here... kudos for learning the info you need here and for your polite, but well spoken comeback.
Let's be honest, AFN isn't the only Growing forum out there, it isn't even the only AF specific forum. Now I'm not knocking any one of them as I'm sure they all have their own appeals, but after lurking on a few others, I decided that this is where I wanted to be. Why? Although the wealth of information was a factor, it was mostly the support, encouragement, and quite frankly the pride that every member had for themselves and openly expressed for others that really sold me. So, to all of you who have readily shown your support either through comments or "likes"...Thank You! One by one you are restoring my faith in the internet, and humanity as a whole.
