Forum comparison

[Mary Beth]

I've been impressed by how well mannered and polite people are in this forum. It's fun to post and not be ready to have to counter attack. So, I've been learning more and having a great time. I'm also a member of http://dogtrainersnetwork.ning.com/. That's a new network started by the dog trainer Lee Charles Kelley - I think highly of his training, but one has to "keep to the party line" or spend lots of time defending one's position. Not much fun. And not surprisingly, there's very litttle new activity, unlike here - where there's never a shortage of new material. I've enjoyed this forum so much, that I've since joined the catforum (well, my cat deserves equal time) - since it was listed on the bottom of the main page - it's run the same way - enjoyable also.
