One of the reasons you won't see me posting as much: I don't have anything to contribute, so I won't take your time by fluff. I'll only post if I have something I think will be of value to the community.
I sadly have little time to hobby, but when I do, I'll post a review, or at least add my feedback to someone else's impressions of whom they've seen. But to me a board is more than just about the reviews. We're a community shrouded in discretion, hobbyists and providers, and this medium allows us to bridge the gap established by the boundaries necessary in the industry's environment.

Some people are shy, even in front of the keyboard, some are just starting and prefer to whisper from the shadows. I see it as a pay-it-forward kind of thing.
Nice outlook on the hobby DB. I think at times people take it way to seriously. I look at it as a business venture involving clients and service providers. Boards are to facilitate the process and at the same time be within a community of like minded people, Baz and Ida excluded of course.:wink2:
