I feel I am still learning about the site's features. I just figured out yesterday how to post photos, without a little help from Don about the image size reduction. Thank you Don and Joshua for your efforts.
It is interesting that Don commented that CM admin rarely contributed to the forums. This was not true until maybe a few years ago. I know Brian would often chime in. Much of the time it was to defend the site against people who were unhappy. The lack of admin participation in recent years was a sign to me that the forums were probably on the way out. This turned out to be correct. But fortunately we have a great alternative here.
When I came aboard CM, the only time I saw a post from Brian was when he had to correct someone, or define a policy. No interaction so no one really got to know him. My comment was basically that Joshua and myself missed that interaction as members and we intend to keep it here on CH, regardless. No hiding behind the curtain, no just sitting back and monitoring things, we will post just as we had over there.
Brian could sometimes be rather sharp and acerbic in his treatment of members who were critical of the site. I remember a few years back a lady who posted that she was in business also. She then asked Brian "What business model makes you think it is a good idea to berate your customers?" It appeared that Brian softened his approach after this.
