I remember getting very frustrated with the SF site.  There's a fine line between not moderating enough and too much. SF crossed it big time.  When AgTalk started it was like a breath of fresh air, especially for those of us with a slow internet connection.

I don't know if I can find it now, at one time I had a file of AgTalk members information I gleaned from what they had posted. We were much smaller and closer back then.  We also were less security conscious.

It's amazing to me looking through my Facebook friends list how many go back all the way to a couple forums that predate AgTalk.  Folks I've never met in person.   I have a hat I rarely wear except to the Louisville farm show with mike SE IL on it.  Met lots of folks wearing it. 

I'm # 26

I'll see if I can attach a gif file I just found.  It's the top posting members in 2009.  A lot of familiar names
