Im absoloutly amazed at what I read on this silly little board I made, whats even more amazing, is no one seems to even know who I am, nor care, and a few dont want anything to do with me, and want to destroy my message board, which I suppose is fine, i cant please everyone, but its so weird to me how everyone seems to 'hate' the newbies, but no one has questioned where on earth I came into the whole CI thing..as far as Im concerned I dont care when you discovered him, if you love him, you love him, and this msg board is where you belong..I only started listening to Chris within the last year...I went to 2 shows...Reno, and Seattle...theres more to my story than that, but I'll save it for later...I guess I just wanted to thank Alex, thank you for posting your name, and keeping it when you RE: its much more personable, I can tell who Im talking too! Its also nice you left a contact, it shows your open, I was hoping to make some new CI friends with this board, and an email addy really helps! I hope you all continue to use this board, and have fun with it, dont get so upset with each other, and by all means if it makes you feel better post anonymously, I'll still listen.
