I check eBay Outlook periodically to see what's going on, and also AW Services. I started "lurking" (I HATE that phrase - sounds like a "Peeping Tom", and really learned a lot from reading the RT.
There is such a diverse group here, and everyone's unique personalities balance it out.
I especially enjoyed "Roll Call" because it gave me an opportunity to put some faces with the names. Muriel, Rancher, and Hepburn look pretty much like I had envisioned them - their personalities definitely suit them and that comes through in the posts.
RT also keeps me up to date on what's going on in the news, as I have a very hectic schedule and don't see the tv that much.
For the most part, I have found everyone here to be very interesting, and certainly enjoy life and current events from such a vast array of points of view...
