The 70's and 80's had many a fun time as it had that hobbyist element and vibe, a community and competitiveness was displayed in one doing something better and a zile to share knowledge and creativity for free over today's internet of put-down smack bias negativity and patent fishing. With that, I can honestly say that this forum from my perspective of the early days epitomises that early ethos and the keenness to share and a penchant towards positivity. Sure even good people have bad days, but good people are always learning. Though the internet grew and gradually usurped the group meets and people shared there, new friends made, the churn of time and things change, evolve. Not always for the better, but then perspective is anchored in time, so the older you get the more you learn about melancholy.
