Feels like I've been doing a lot of these introductions lately - only recently came to this hobby in the last year and found the wonderful online communities and resources created and tended by all of you.
I was saddened to see the turn of events on the other site. I've been online and active in various forums and sites going back to the early 90s. I've seen a lot of implosions, sell/buy-outs, and disintegrations over the years, but what happened this week, was the most ham-fisted, amateurish, and unnecesarialy acrimonious takeover I've been witness to. I hope this only ends up creating a broader and more vibrant community of model engineers - like scattering seeds in the wind.. We shall see.
Anyway, glad to be here, Looking forward to contributing and continuing to learn laugh...
