New members since that time may think the Library was always as it is today - a welcoming place with plenty of comments and an active forum.
I jsut want to clarify something for anyone who may have mis-interpreted this statement. I did not mean to imply that the PEOPLE here were not welcoming. , because they always have been. Within days of joining, I was in conversation with not only the staff (Februs, flopsy, Pink) but also other members (KatieB, flowergirl, and probably others), and everyone was most cordial. I was just trying to say, however clumsily, that the greatr number of comments and the more active forum have made the site more interactive, and therefore MORE welcoming. (Better?)
More drinks anyone?
