    Looking Back

    Do you ever look back through all your old threads and laugh at yourself?

    It's kind of funny to see how your own outlooks and views change. There's also the dud threads, and the threads that go horribly wrong. You wonder why you started those.

    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Well, that's why we are here; to learn. Same thing if you look back in your life, too.

    You do learn a lot on XMTS.

    You also get to know a lot of people, or perhaps it is, over time, they get to know you better than when you first join.

    Yes, I do come across old posts and cringe or laugh. And yes, you definitely learn, grow, and can even change tastes over time

    Good point Ted. We all say things that if we only read later would wince to hear repeated.

    Well, there was that one thread I started... Oh well.

    Guess I've made some friends here.

    I've definitely made friends here. It also helped me get through some tough times. I'm very happy I joined this board

    Yes. I'm not a member of any other forums, and I really don't think I could deal with many of the other ones.

    I do keep trying to find where I fit in, though.
    Too many interests I guess.
