I actually wanted to focus on this: I'm really proud of the AOLserver Community and its ability to discuss things, especially those of a technical nature, while maintaining a high level of respectability and decorum. It's highly unusual for a conversation on the mailing list to degenerate into a flame-war or ad hominem attacks which are so common in online forums, especially tech-centric ones. This doesn't mean that those involved aren't just as invested or as passionate about the subjects being discussed, but I think we're all able to openly discuss and learn from each other here, and that's incredibly valuable to me, and I imagine others who also follow the threads here.
