I haven’t been a member here too long. I think I joined in 2010 (?). Anyway, I had been a member of other forums like Talk Classical (terrible forum that is full of some of the most overly sensitive children I think I’ve ever encountered and I don’t care anything about their game threads) and one smaller one called Bright Cecilia, but I don’t think it exists any longer ---- just as well as it took a week to get a response from someone.

When I joined GMG, it felt like I finally reached a forum that had a plethora of knowledgeable people, but also people that I could actually
talk to and them not be offended by everything I wrote. Yes, indeed the good people here have some of the thickest skins of all the classical forums.

But, more importantly, I’ve made some great friends that I love to talk music with and that help me in my escape from my little corner of the world. Thanks to all for making this a fun experience and, hopefully, the fun will continue!
