Well, for those of you who (still) don't understand why I do some of the things I do: Most of the regular contributing Nomads (and former Amigos de
Baja) are my friends, and as Baja Bernie says, "Friends helping friends" is what it's about. A lot others are only lurkers or rare posters on Nomad,
but contact me with appreciation for the time I take to share here.
To me, sharing is one thing friends do. On-line sharing is even better because if you don't want to hear or read it, you don't have to! This is a
concept a couple of 'sour grapes' Nomads haven't learned. Another is, just because I share a lot here, that doesn't take away from 'space' needed for
anyone else to post on Nomad. That repeated ragging by a couple here is really sad in that they can't spend that amount of energy posting something
that is useful or pleasurable, instead!
Finally, if you thingk the nagging is a way to 'police the board', please don't bother as the owner of this site is a personal friend from before this
forum was created, and we communicate often. Doug can tell me if he wants less Baja travel info or help... or even less chit chat. In fact, that's
what a forum is for... communication.
Some people think there are ultier motives for people being nice. There is no hunger for power on my end, I simply have the most posts becase I am the
oldest (longest active) Nomad after Doug and have always been happy to help and share my Baja experiences, photos, details... As THAT IS the primary
purpose for this web site. If you come to my home, and you are welcome to, you will find a Baja library, and Baja maps and satellite images on my
walls.
Because most of you will not be coming to my home, the next best thing I can do is share what I have on line... So, don't be mad... If you think I
post too much then you all need to post more!... Not complaints, but more about Baja! That why the thousands from the World Wide Web come to Doug's
web site, afterall!
Heck, with my trips to the USA, there will be less to share on Baja Nomad... sorry!
Now, have a nice day... ya'all come back! |
