    Talking Another Defection

    Well, I've seen a few other new members over here in SMC who I've met at that "other" forum. Don't know if it's OK to mention them by name. While I'm not in the league with the other recent "defectors", I do enjoy my hobby of woodworking and am hoping to learn from the good people here on SMC.

    Welcome, Blaine. I need to check out the "other" forum to see the reasons for the mass exodus. Now all I need know is, "what other forum?"

    Welcome, Blaine!
    ************
    I don't think of it as defection or exodus--There are quite a few SMC members who have also been active on WN and other forums. Some SMC members are also more active elsewhere. And vice versa.

    As well, some of the Knots members have also come here lately--some didn't know SMC existed.

    Take care, Mike

    Welcome, Blaine. SMC is a great community and your input will be valued.

    Some of us pretty much make this "home" (with occasional visits elsewhere), others participate in a variety of forums regularly and still others only stop by SMC on occasion as they call somewhere else "home". No problem with any of these...

    Hello Blaine,

    It's good to see you here. As a creek member for all of two days, let me welcome you, and as always, if you need anything shoot me a PM.

    I registered on Saturday and there has been quite a bit of movement this weekend.

    Thanks John. Frankly, I've been lurking here on SMC for some time, but seeing your addition, as well as Mark's, made the sale for me.

    I'll still visit Woodnet (Can I say that?) often as there are lots of great folks over there. I don't think there's a mass exodus for any specific reason, but it does have its ups and downs.

    I've tried to download a picture of my most recent project.


    For those who like ship-shop tours, you can see my dust collector sitting in the corner beside the bench.

    Thanks to all for the warm welcome. The overall friendliness is why I like woodworkers.

    Blaine

    Welcome to the Creek Blaine. I'm one of those drop by members, but always feel at home when I stop for a rest.
