I am/have been mostly here to ride out the bubble and use the threads as entertainment and instigation to learn. I like to think I have contributed something useful to fellow piggs.
There is a path of least resistance quasi- social component for me since my jobsite/office and home have been one and the same for the most part and fairly remote too.
Of course, the content of the blog, the posters and Rich’s tolerance for occasional non-conformity, have everything to do with my choice of this site instead of somewhere else.These factors have enabled some valuable personal and professional growth and this continues. I have benefited from a small amount of networking and there probably is still some potential for that. There are better ways of course.
