I've visited here a few times, and finally decided to join in. I've been around for awhile, as in, on this planet, when cnet was a BBS program running on my Amiga (7 lines thank you).
I can't say that I get to involved in most net forums, as most of the users are transitory, and it's not use conversing like that.
I've done a lot of different jobs in my time, and current I'm a web developer...for banks of all the boring things. Which like everything to be very conservative...I had a curve in a graphic once described as "too sexy".
So JavaScript is what peeked my interest in the site, that and Photoshop. Seeing good, frequent, discussions by folks kept me here.
