Very well said, Logseman. You've posted what some of us (me) are not always able to say. MR members have taught me so much.
I was a just a newbie to text messaging, then I was given a Sony 505 (the only thing I knew about Readers was the word *gasp* Kindle

), and had never been on a forum, ever.
In the last almost year and a half, MR members made me feel very welcome as a newbie, and even taught me how to post along with how to use my Sony 505.
So, I agree...
