I'm not sure what I am supposed to say here. I have never posted to any forum before. I hope this will suffice.
I try to always listen to all sides of a discussion with an open mind, then only chime in when I have something constructive to say.


Only through a sharing of knowlege with open minds do we all grow.
If we do not grow we stagnate and go extinct.

Welcome...

New members and hopfully new info... is always welcome!

But just another point of view on anything is good too.

Welcome! I, too, am "testing" my feet here. From what I have seen so far, there is a lot to soak in from all sides, however, I have noticed many threads where people tend to get completely consumed by all the bits of information available, and end up "dwelling" (which echoes the "stagnation" comment you made).

I've noticed that my own discernment between truth and fiction "urges" me to read certain threads, while others I tend to skim over with little notice. It's all about what your psyche needs out of it at the moment. May yours find what it's thirsting for!

Welcome to ATS.
Balanced and open? come on, why should you be different that everyone else here? lol (joke)

It's an interesting place, some threads and people are more balanced and open than others, but I think you'll find it all interesting.

-again, welcome to ATS

welcome to forum life, i belong to so many i can't keep track. this is my favorite though because it covers so much on ats and bts. i also use gamespot.com and mmorpg.com if your into gaming at all.

Welcome.

You are a breath of fresh air if you stay true to what you've said in your introduction post.

Too many people post in haste without engaging their brain.

It's a bit chilly tonight so there is a kettle of hot apple cider down the hall to your left.

Welcome to ATS.
I hope you find what you are looking for, as long as it suits you to do so.
Be true to your call, and others will be true to you.

As the "three billy goats gruff" would caution, be wary of crossing bridges.

welcome, its good to see someone who claims to have a similar take that i do.

we all tend to forget to stay open and keep our thoughts rolling at times.

i'm sure you will find this place very interesting and full of knowledge and debate.

happy posting.
