 Thanks for being a member of this site, J P. I think without all the questions there wouldn't be as much experimenting and the free flow of so many ideas that make this site unique.

 To me, one of the things I see that is nice on this site is the volunteering of information. I love to see a question from a Newbee that I have seen answered a half dozen times in the past answered by somebody other than an oldtimer by somebody that was a Newbee just a few years before.

 Passing on the information and keeping this Art alive is to me what this Site and Magazine is about..

Thanks for being a member and contributing. This is a great group of people, I've had the pleasure of meeting a lot of members in person and it would be harder to find a better bunch of folks anywhere.

I'm always amazed at how little snarky attitude shows up here.  Apparently there was some of that early on, but the moderators and the people with influence stepped on it right quick and pushed a positive attitude until it became the culture of the message board.  There are Fortune 500 corporations that pay out millions of dollars yearly to try to create this kind of culture and cooperative mindset.  I think they should just invest in some drawknives, rasps, and a load of staves.

Glad you like it here JP and glad you will be getting a subscription.  That is what keeps this board alive so we can all enjoy it.  It would be nice if more members were like you and supported this place by getting a subscription.

What about us that buy our copy from the corner drug store.  We want to see local business keep PA on the shelves, and buying it from them ensures they stock it on the shelf.

Newsstand and corner store sales don't help the mag out as much as a subscription

Oooops. I've always bought mine off the news stand. I guess I should re-think that. However, I think I worked it out that it was more expensive for a subscription. Maybe I'm wrong?
