XMTS is a lot of fun and a great place to be. I have met a lot of great people because of this forum and have become more educated on my heritage as well. I honestly think the experience on XMTS is unique to most other forums. I have been very displeased with some other forums I have been a member of so X Marks is a welcome refuge. Several times i have sat and stared at what I have written for many minutes before finally deciding to hit the sumbit button. I think that restraint and careful thought are pretty much universal on this board, largely thanks to our great Moderators. We all slip up every now and then, but overall, everyone I have ever traded posts with on this website has behaved like a gentleman or lady. Thats what keeps me coming back!
