You had me thinking about the day I first joined and why I did. I didn't know about the contests, I didn't know the people, but I did like the pictures, which led me to believe I could learn something here. So I guess you could add 'to learn' to that list.Some come for the prizes, some come for the people, some come for the pictures......and some come for all three!
Now I've said it before, the prizes are a reflection of what you have learned, a bonus so to speak. I have learned to grow plants correctly, learned how to win prizes, learned a lot about great people, learned what a great administration can do to a forum, and totally unrelated, I learned that if @AngryBird doesn't give orange back to my dog he's going to move on to another snuggle buddy.
Thanks everyone for just being you!
