When I was choosing a forum to join I used my vast experience in the world of motorhomes and photography forums.
A forum can be too small to not give varied opinion or be visited quickly enough to get an answer. It can also be too big with too many of the 'owners' or 'mods' up their own backsides to make it worth being part of.
I looked long and hard at this one and have enjoyed it's content and the input from a very interesting selection of people.
I wonder why some continue to argue over their 'own' opinion on varying subjects such as 'helmets' or 'headphones' etc. But I guess that happens in any situation. However, it is my experience that the continuation of these types of arguments are often carried out by people who do not have long term experience of the etiquette on forums. However, I am pleased that this appears to happen very little and has not spoilt my enjoyment nor gaining of knowledge on this forum. Even if I have been asking some really dumb questions!
