Forums are all about the guys/gals who set them up with a purposeful mission, and then don't let others get in the way of that mission. Just like setting up a business.

Getting the right people on the bus is really the only thing that matters.

A learning experience is one of those things that says, "You know that thing you just did? Don't do that."
