As we ask in my family at Passover "why is this board different from all other boards?" (I can make that joke, I'm Jewish and it's my birthday).

It's odd isn't it that this board is so different: more informative, supportive, funny, we could go on and on, like a favorite restaraunt or LBS that's why we come here. My theory why it's better here.

* TE and the admin does a great job of quietly running things in the background

* senior & newbie members keep the tone light ~ worst thing that ever happens is someone asks for the umpty blobdillionth time "why does ___ hurt?" and is politely asked "did you search for the 242 threads "why does ____ hurt?".

* TE board members don't live for the drama of the net. We log on, get our tips, buy shorts from TE and LOG OFF AND GET OUTSIDE.

* then there's something I can't put my finger on why or how this happens here, anyone know why? we're a diverse group of women, different races, religions, nationalities, our politics are all over the map, gay & straight, we even have mountain bikers but we share this quirky sense of humor. Even when we share difficulties and dangers that are a part of our sport, chalenges of riding with dissabilities there's just a warmth, humor and support here about it.
