Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Like many others, I was semi-active, first on usenet (mostly music groups - talk about a free-for-all...), lurked mostly on motley fool, then intercst's RE forum, then left there when it became way too focused on "he who shall not be named"...
In the early 90s, after several years of brokeness, I actually started to accumulate some assets, and thus took an interest in investing and FIRE. Alas, many things didn't work as I envisioned, so still at the yoke, but closing in fast!
Thus, ended up here, for nearly nine years now. Have learned a lot about a lot of things, and hopefully added a teensy-weensy bit of value myself, though many of my 10k+ posts are just wisecracks and one-liners. But I consider not taking life too seriously to be a virtue. Will likely hang around as long as they will let me.
I appreciate the collective wisdom, consider most members as "friends", enjoy the humor, and though I've occasionally incurred the wrath of moderators, generally appreciate the fact that pointless political arguments are quickly relegated to the bit bucket...
