MasterLcZ befriended me very early, and though for the longest time I thought he truly was Brad Oscar (those wee photos are powerful, y'all), I grew to depend on his even-handed presence and wisdom here. And succinct posts. And by the way: if anyone has a question about art, he's the man to turn to.
The wise Iflitfloat came along and patted me on the head when I most needed it--and raised the level of discourse here in many a thread. Another treasure. Fair and balanced and devoid of hysteria. Sometimes, late at night, you need to read posts from people who think before they start typing (I'm not one, but I admire those like Iflit who do...)
But you know what? Many people here are friendly, curious and welcoming of ideas unlike their own (have I learned a lot from Papaloves); and as for the halls of high school aspect of this board ... well, the little sub-cliques that form, dismantle, and re-form between recess and lunch ... they are part of the ultimate fun, no? I leave every now an then for a week or two, but always return, and know someobody will talk to me.
