You ain't wrong.
I've mentioned this thread to a few non-FOFC friends, as a kind of exemplar of what can be accomplished online.
We're an imperfect lot around here, at any given normal moment probably 1/3rd of us are ready to strangle another 1/3rd of us ... but not in this thread.
Here? We're all bobbing around in the same icy North Atlantic waters, and we're doing what we can to pull each other into a lifeboat. I'm not looking to see who I'm dragging in, just get in the boat, it's too dark to be particular.
I may reserve the option of whacking you over the head as we head up the gangplank once we're rescued but there's time for that later.
For the time being? Let's just get everybody in the boat and keep 'em there.
And, HEY, you there ... NO DIVING !
