Sometimes it is really funny. Like in PARF, there's an older guy who tries his best to imitate dipso, pretty much trying to copy his style and substance verbatim. But where dipso can pull it off with aplomb and a deft touch (love him or hate him, his interwebs skilz cannot be denied), the "old man imitation dipso" - despite trying his heart out - just comes across as shrill, angry, humorless and boring.
Milt isn't like that at all, I think he's kind of the opposite - he's probably *too* forthright and too much of a good guy for modern internet play. Most "off topic" boards are not really a place for old school gentlemen like him anymore (although I hope he keeps posting).

I guess that I fit into the category mentioned above. It has been a learning experience for me to join in this , my first forum adventure. Both in computer skills, The first pics I ever downloaded and emailed were sent here. Also in the manor of exchange here. Most are very friendly and helpful Like Milts, who I hope decides to come back to share his knowledge and insight with us. Some here chose to vent on a regular basis with a tone that I find a bit abrasive and uncomfortable. So I am learning to tune those out or just skip their posts.
In total this forum is enjoyable and very helpful for me, thanks to all.
And Milt. folks do find themselves moving on to new interests in their lives. Thanks so much for all you have shared with us here. Sure would like to see you back with us.
Cheers Richard
