An appeal to all non-posting members

katana · 2nd June 2006, 12:21 PM

I only joined around 4 months ago. Previously I had never posted on ANY forum. The members here are friendly, informative and dare I say humourous. The forum staff are excellent, (give yourselves a pat on the back, boys

).

So I say, to all those who have considered posting a thread or joining the discussions........just do it......you wont regret it.

In my case, this invitation would be like suggesting a madman to throw stones around

As I have watched this forum so far, the people here are friendly and helpful. However, the questions I have are usually related to the historical usage of weapons and I hesitate to bother the members who seem to concentrate more on the collection side.

YOU MIGHT BE SUPRIZED AT THE WIDE RANGE OF QUESTIONS YOU CAN GET ANSWERED ON THIS FORUM. GRANTED MOST POSTS DEAL WITH COLLECTING ISSUES SUCH AS IDENTIFICATION,AGE, LOCATION AND TRIBE OR PRESERVATION. BUT MANY MEMBERS ARE CURRENTLY INVOLVED OR HAVE BEEN IN MARTIAL ARTS SO CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS ON TECKNIQE AND SOME HISTORY. THERE ARE ALSO THOSE WHO SPECILIZE IN HISTORY AND EVEN SOME WHO'S SPECIALTY IS LINGUISTICS. WE HAVE MEMBERS FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT COUNTRYS AS WELL. OFTEN THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR USE OF ENGLISH NOT BEING GOOD ENOUGH TO PARTICIPATE, BUT WHEN YOU CONSIDER MY POOR SPELLING,GRAMAR AND PUNCTUATION THEY HAVE NO WORRIES

SO HAVE NO FEAR AND POST AWAY WE MAY POKE FUN AT MEMBERS WE KNOW BUT WE DON'T MAKE FUN OF ANYONE OR THEIR QUESTIONS. JUST READ THE RULES SO YOU DON'T GET CROSSWAYS WITH THE MODERATORS AND ALL WILL BE WELL.
