I come here in spurts and don't say much. I don't know if I'm "casual" since I've been a member so long, but I have to say I was surprised to see this thread, and after reading all of the posts, am surprised at the apparent level of vitriol between some members. Until now I was unaware of this, but I'm not here daily, and don't read all of the threads.
I remain impressed by the level of intelligence, sophistication, composure, articulation (esp for those who don't have English as their native tongue) and dedication of so many of the people here. I play a lot of different PC games (shooters, RPGs, strategy/wargames, you name it), and so visit many sites like bluesnews, shack, etc. Being into myriad sims, I've also visited and become a member in many other forums dedicated to other types. Subsim is easily my favourite, and is in a league of it's own imo. I can't say I've ever had someone say "RTFM!" to me here, and for the most part people are polite and go out of their way to help. Being teh intarweb though, there's all types, which is why we need boundaries and moderators.
While I'm at it, I want to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of the people who contributed to saving the last 3 Silent Hunter sims for me, which includes most of you posting in this thread. THANKS!
