I have lurked on BoroughVENT for a few years now and have always been entertained and become more informed. I thank you for the service your site provides, and I hope to become more involved in the discussion. The casino hearings and the new site might have provided the needed impetus.

Sometimes lurking can be a good thing. Participation makes you stronger however. Welcome aboard Ben

Ouch, tough room  Welcome to BoroughVENT, or should I say, BoroVENT, devilsdenben. Since you've lurked awhile, you must have worked on thickening your skin before deciding to begin Posting. To you and many of the other new Members, just think of us as one big dysfunctional family - with poor grammar and Tourette's. I have noticed an uptick in Membership since going to the automatic registration. Anonymity is good, in some sense, on a site like this. A lot of people did not want to Register while I was having to register them manually through email, and rightfully so. Truth be told, I really didn't WANT to know who was joining, or why. I even like the mystery somewhat. But... in some cases, I do like knowing who some people are - it allows me to separate fact from fiction. If I know the source, I can kinda "pre-verify" the information. If it comes from Deb G, I know to trust the source... or else!  If it comes from Dspitz, I know to take it with a grain of salt. From MattC... a whole BLOCK of salt  |

I have lurked on BoroughVENT for a few years now and have always been entertained and become more informed... I re-read your post. Entertained - YES. Informed? Hmmm... better be cautious there. Then again, you didn't say "educated", so "informed" may be a good choice of words after all. |

From MattC... a whole BLOCK of salt Venter - I'm referring to "new to this game" who intends to report my posting (I'm on break, "new") to my employer. That is an attempt to destroy my livelihood. I have a stalker - how impressive. I feel like a celebrity without the fame and money. |
