As a result of the the 04 run experience, my passion for hockey and thirst for related knowledge was kindled. I got wind of the site, and joined shortly thereafter.
Like most members I lurked for a while before getting up enough nerve to start posting (I had never posted anything on the internet before). I recall the reaction to my first post was "Huh". Obviously I had to train myself to be more accurate, avoid double meanings and stating things as fact when they weren't, and preparing myself to answer the questions my post might generate. Luckily there were many kind members that offered helpful comments, in spite of my rather unenlightened knowledge and questions.
All in all I have enjoyed the time spent on the site. It has been a great learning experience, and the diversion has helped me to overcome some of life's obstacles.
