I sent a PM earlier to Tashakota, agilebasenji, brookcove and dogslyfe, asking them for their help in creating FAQ's/blurbs for the Sports & Work section because they are all very knowledgeable in their chosen performance fields.
Brookcove's was undeliverable (full inbox), but as of now I have had responses from all the others, saying YES YES we'd love to help, here are my suggestions, what can I do, do we need to have a brainstorming session etc etc.
Amidst all the nastiness I had not been focussing on the really great, positive members we have who are really EAGER to contribute and make the site better, if only given half a chance. Starting threads and participating in discussions is great and what we're all here for, but this is slightly different because they are being asked to create a (I hope) lasting contribution to the site they love. They all sounded not only enthusiastic about the idea, but honoured that I had asked them (dogslyfe actually said that) and flattered that their experience was recognised.
This is a GOOD thing, and a good reminder that we have members like this.
