... in response to Question, posted by Cordobes on Mar 11, 2002On the one hand, you will find this board composed of guys with experience in the FSU and with RW that is unparalleled anywhere. One need only review the archives to see testimony after testimony of the great advice and experience offered by this board.
On the other hand, owing to the subject matter, the board attracts more than it's fair share of vitriolic (possibly feminist) posters that serve only to disrupt.
It probably follows that people willing to make the effort to find their life-partner from a foreign country are not generally going to be the 'Harvey Milktoast' type of personality. I know I've met more than a dozen guys that post on this board and there is not a single one that falls into the category of a 'shrinking violet.' While we do have our share of strong opinions, some (at least) are reasonable and articulate and thoughtful about the process.
To sum it up, you will occasionally see some idiotic troll posts - especially right now from some recently banned posters such as jj/MAx. And you will occasionally see some feminist witch that makes her way here to cause trouble. Some here revel in the opportunity to deal with it - others are less confrontive. In the final alaysis, however, I doubt you will find a more useful board, overall, anywhere on the 'net. If you do, send me an e-mail and let me know about it - OK?? --smile--
BTW - register, why don't you?!? It's sort of like kicking your boots off and putting your feet up and sitting for a while.
