MLU Forum History: What/Who brought you here?

I honestly don't remember when I started lurking here, but it's measured in years. I was using a search engine to find information on Universal Carriers and was refered here.

The people here are outstandingly gracious and knowledgeable and have been very helpeful to my search for information. Only rarely have I been able to contribute in return, much to my chagrin.

The Bren Gun is another of my areas of special interest and, perhaps, here I've been able to help a little.

I'm a Yank and I live in Las Vegas (Michigan born and raised) and hope no one will hold any of that against me

This is an outstanding forum and Geoff has my deepest gratitude for providing it.

Hi Roger...have I EVER said a real HELLO to you before? I think not, or not good enough or something ... HELLO! Very glad to YAP with you

I saw your reply and just had to jump back in here and say THAT, as well as thank you SO much for adding your story and thoughts. Your kind of reply is exactly the sorts of posts I hoped would happen, and I hope that everyone else will post too.

This thread I started was about my own genuine interest about how and why people find MLU, what they get out of it, and is sort of my own pushy little way of trying to give a little back to MLU by drawing out this good stuff for all of us to enjoy ... but most specially for the people who run and manage this forum ... a labour of love, of time, effort, energy, frustration, money. the running of MLU is an endless continuous task that asks nothing of us but good behavior toward each other (I try hard REALLY. I do!)
