We and others have shared one thing that is not mentioned. Some nomads are very different in person and are not who they write themselves to be.
Some are exactly as they write.
Overall, it is a good place to find out certain information; albeit many different answers to the same question.  We have made some very good friends through this forum and that is a good thing. A call for help is seldom
ignored; even if the help comes with a price, but not always. It is a good place to promote local community projects and needs; even if that need is
for a nomad who may or may not pay for the items. And it is a good place for lots of free advertising; and there is nothing wrong with that.
And personally, I have learned a lot about photography hanging around here!

Some Nomads have never met certain Nomads, yet think they know about them, and talk bad about them to others, who they do they meet in person! 
Nothing beats personal meeting and hearing how someone talks and seeing their passion. The keyboard just cannot convey feelings and emotions that
well.
Internet is great at conveying data and photos about Baja... but once we get personal, it can be less than beautiful at times...

Who are the Nomads? They are people who have helped enrich my Baja experience by offering trip ideas, tips, and help.
I have made a few friends on here too. I've never known anyone in Baja except my family in TJ.
Now I have people to visit in Asuncion, La Bocana, Ensenada, Los Frailes, Gonzaga, San Juanico, to name a few........All the more reason for more
trips!
There are also people here that I believe would have my back, as I would theirs, if I found myself in need of help down south.
Peace.

I have tell all of you, we met our first nomad this New Years Eve, well at least one that I knew was a Nomad. We had the pleasure of meeting Paulina
at the Diaz Party in BOLA. What a wonderful lady. Hope to meet other nomads someday!

DENNIS loved and probably still loves this board. He bugged me and bugged me till I joined. Hope he is doing ok in La Jolla. (La Jolla California,
USA, that is).

You hit the nail right on the head with your anecdote, George.
My second purpose in Baja (retiring here in BA is the first) was to personally visit with as many Bajanomads I could find along my travels. You, in
fact, were my first Nomad I set out to meet in person...I drove 130 miles out of my way, just to meet this writer/fisherman. You have been a truly
rewarding person whom I can call a friend.
And, BTW, your post is close to hitting the 1000 views mark which makes
it a popular topic with all readers.
Way to go, George!
BTW...I wish you were here this evening...I am serving pulled pork BBQ sandwiches with home made cole slaw and BBQ sauce to some friends here in BA.
On Thursday morning I am heading north, and on this trip I am stopping by bajagringo's house in La Chorera (just west of San Quintin).
Also, my PR paperwork has been turned in a week ago, and now I HAVE TO "apply" to leave the country for 30 days, just until my card arrives.

We react to what we read. What more can be expected. They say JRBaja was a wonderful man if you met him in person. But here on the board he was a pain
in the butt. Nobody can say why he chose to personify himself in that light but that's how he will be perceived.
To me it's unimportant what 'they really are'. I just respond to the written word.

Yes indeed, I am one who made the note about JR, that we fought online and shared beers in person. He openly told me he did what he did online to get
a rise from folks. This is entertainment, after all... but I like it for the information, too.
My comment yesterday was that none of us should pretend we know a person solely by what is posted, but instead by what we have experienced in person.
I may not agree with everything you say on Nomad, but I do not talk ill of you behind your back, I have not met you. Even if I had met you, I really
have better things to discuss than feelings about others. This is a family, like it or not, and what you say will come back and bite you if it isn't
true.
Baja is the reason we are here and that love for the peninsula should be an overriding bond we share.

Well said, as usual George, except for one thing. Pictures of kitties? Really? I thought that was the realm of icanhascheezburger.com.
