    I was actually trying to find a British problem page site that I'd contributed to years ago, but grown to hate for its sugary paternalistic responses, when AMHD popped up on Google (God bless Google), and I have stayed ever since.

    Fortunately with posters like Exon, there are few sugary, or paternalistic for that matter, responses!

    And, I got the free set of kitchen knives with my membership...

    Anyway, I love all the posters, even the crazy ones - it's the variety that I enjoy.

    I came because I was invited. I've been participating on Q&A sites for over 20 years. During the late 90s I started contributing to Askme.Com. That site grew to be one of the best on the Web. It shut down in 2001 or 2002 for reasons I won't go into. At that time I was the top rated technology expert. I'm actually wearing my AskMe.com T-shirt right now.

    So I was invited by some of the new sites trying to take AskMe's place to participate. I didn't take to AMHD at first, partly because they just copied AskMe's home page.

    But I have to admit the Admins and Mods ;) have done a very good job in making this one of the best places on the WEB to go for help and comradeship.

    following a woman is a pleasant way to spend one's time... hate to see you go, love to watch you walk away... preferably in heels and a skirt. Love the "swish"...

    back on topic... like I said, I came here for "home repair" help and stayed in that area for a time. Then got into the relationship boards, the science boards (bio and chem degrees here), and then merged into the AS boards.

    I really didn't have any prior experience with askme or other help sites before AMHD.

    and now, what keeps me coming back is the community. I probably spend half my time still searching for questions to answer, and half my time wasting bandwidth connecting to the people I've met here.

    this concludes my AMHD autobiography, condensed version.

    You've got to love how Exy gives straightforward no crap answers.

    The crazy ones make the site interesting.
    As annoying as trolls are when it's a serious issue, sometimes a crazy or two (when not offering dangerous advice) can add a bit of 'zing' :)

    I agree with you Scott, I never saw askme.com but I know this site has a real sense of comraderie.

    I remember typing something about getting over a relationship on Google. Actually, I think it was "how to kill your ex-girlfriend and get away with it":)

    Happy to say the wonderful advice steered me away from that course of action and gave me other whays in which to solve the problem.
