Dear Neil: you summed it nearly perfectly up:
After being the
best purchase decision helper, I've ever seen on the net (as far as e-ink devices are concerned), MR remains
best info point about
developmentand usage of e-book related tools and on-device software (
2 Valloric, Kovid, and all others of you who help making the gap between a theoretical standard and practical usage smaller with each day, be it as tool-coders or content making wizards and helpers)
this alone would be reason enough to stay - but
there are fellow:
- bookaneers
- gadgeteers
- very kind multilingual people with a huge coverage of interests and fields of knowledge
- I feel more 'home' here than I ever did on any other net place (Linux & RPG mainly)
and people from - as you said - your branch, either not hiding their hints behind the courtain.
the welcome here (your part in it included) was very heartily and warm.
Its like some kind of never ending book convention and that feels damn good to me.
so I'd rather ask your question the other way around:
What the hell makes people
leave this place volountarily?!? - I'm serious about that.
*ahm* *cough*
in addition to all that I'll freely admit, that I also - among a fair big bunch of others here - am far from being immune to the natural kindness and charme of Our Royal Zippyness the Queen.
