Fun to see so many of the original people checking in. Too bad we've lost so many of them.
I initially resisted joining AZ Billiards because I was a member of the Billiard Digest Cue Chalk Board (CCB) group and was very happy with it. There was a nice mix of posters there. I joined AZ when it started growing rapidly and many of the CCB people came over here with new names.
I remember being fascinated with the new (to me) concept of meeting people on the internet and conversing with them. I'm being honest when I say I'm impressed with the intellect, wisdom and humor I see from the members here on a daily basis. The witty observations and diverse viewpoints create a gold mine of entertainment value.
Over time the information is rehashed and rehashed, content may get repetitive but the entertainment value has stayed strong for me.
