Gentlemen and scholars

[Black Bart]

Know what I like about this board? It's good, decent, civil, polite, and sophisticated. The fairly standard display here of courtesy, literate discussion, and regard for the feelings of others speaks well for our conscientious posters -- far and away superior to many other sites where people routinely insult/curse others in unintelligible rants.

Anyway, a round of applause for all you guys and gals who are doing your part to provide enjoyable posting/reading for us. And, another one as well for our wonderful hosts -- Brad, Paul, and their TMI associates for providing this oasis of education and civilization.

Agreed

Yes, a forum full of well-versed, well-meaning, and well-behaved people.

Bart, come to think of it, how'd they let me 'n you join up?

With nicknames like Black Bart and Snaggletooth, it's a good question! I guess if you quote Burns, you can get admitted anyplace...

I'll drink to that; a toast to Rabbie Burns. But please, NO haggis.

I agree. Some boards aren't very nice to visit.

I guess I must be a scholar. I certainly can't be in the category of "gentleman". I was born that way.

When I saw the title of this thread, I almost skipped it over since it obviously wasn't addressed to me. Then Bart adds such words as "good, decent, civil, polite, sophisticated, literate" - I was getting pretty discouraged, but I kept reading anyhow.

In the end, I do agree with Bart's assessment - this is a great forum, and thanks to TMI for providing it.

So the women on the board would be the scholars? :-)

Who let the wimmenfolk on this board? It was so simple before they
went to school and learnt how to ask questions like Beth did.

After all, she can be an inspiration - I'm going to learn my wife
how to do taxes! When life gives you wimmen, make wimmenade!!
