<snip> I figure if someone thinks it is worth contributing towards in general, then they will participate in some manner to help it stay alive, or add to it by contributing their own experiences and information to go along with it. Everyone gains from doing this.

These are the two reasons I have joined and stayed.
I like thoughts provoked from different angles, so I can see things & solutions differently than the way I was approaching it.
I am from a small town, poor farming family where everybody helped everybody...cause your turn for needing help was coming whether you want it to or not. Nobody expected anything in return, other than your help when they needed it. That was one of the things that attracted me to this industry, the comradery. There's less and less of it everyday, but it's still alive and well here.

As far as this goes
