Thanks for this site!
« on: June 06, 2007, 11:24:05 pm »
I just want to say a sincere thank you to everyone involved in creating and maintaining this warm and friendly, "troll free" zone.  I really feel I can express my thoughts and feelings about this wonderful film in an atmosphere of kindness, dignity, and mutual respect.  I realize that there is much hard work in putting a forum like this together, and I will do my best to support its continued existence.

In a sense, being here, is like finding that "sweet life" that both Jack and Ennis so desperately wanted.

Hopefully, out in the "real" world, this will be the case, as more people change their attitudes and become more tolerant of everyone, even toward those that follow a "different" lifestyle than theirs.

Keep up the good work!

Thank YOU for the lovely post, WINGS.  :-*

"There ain't no reins on this one."

That's a beautiful way to put it.  I couldn't agree more.  :)

First thanks go to Phillip, who with his partner John, started BetterMost.  After them, it's everyone who chips in and does their part. 

It seems like most people who stay find their own ways of making this a good place.  Some have mod positions, but many just see a need and fill it.  And (speaking as one of the people who does stuff around here), I can say one of my favorite ways to see people pitch in is when they write thank you messages!  :)  So thanks for pitching in, THE WINGS!

True! And I'm happy about the pitching in of anyone who starts a new thread. Or enlivens an existing one. Or resurrects an old one. Whatever keeps things lively around here is great.

It's anywhere Brokies gather, and it's also in the central park of BetterMost, Wyoming!
