There seems to be a lot of interest in newcomers lately,many join up and then seem to disappear,that is a loss to us all here on the toequest forum,it is also a loss here on the
league of universal science,what can we all do to make this forum more attractive,so
that when people join us they are encouraged to stay,and to contribute to a growing
and healthy forum.

I think we need to try and be welcoming,to foster a atmosphere of tolerance and acceptance of all differing views and opinions,where even those of us who are prehaps
a little timid among us,will feel comfortable enough to share their theories and ideas
with us,without fear of ridicule or abusive comments.

Robert is doing a wonderful job of keeping us up to the "state of the art"with web design
and technology,and keeping all those spam merchants at bay.

So can we as a forum have a new year resolution?If so mine will be;that we are more
welcoming to the newcomer,hopefully this will enable more to stay with the forum.

warmest regards michael.
