I've told Kerry and Crank personally, but I just wanted to say a really huge job well done on this site. I haven't been around quite as much here lately, but I will do so more. It is just amazing to me how we started out with a lot of apprehension on both sides over what we were all doing - and there are now over 20,000 posts and 250 or so members. I don't see it slowing down either, I guess the word is out that this is a great place to come!!! I am really pleased that we have been able to blend so well.
Here is to Common Ground!!

Okay, for some
reason the post keeps propogating. Hopefully someone
can delete two of them while I log out of common ground
temporarily.

Hear! Hear! Thank you Crank and Kerry! What a way to build a fantastic Disney Board that suits ALL of us thus building a Common Ground.

Well, Thank You Denise!
It's all Crank, Francine, and Robb now. Even in the beginning, you have to give LOTS of credit to Francine and Lori.
It was easy to start, but the people here, both the posters and the mods, are why it is still a fun site to read.

Adding my thanks into the mix. I remember a phone conversation with Kerry. I was very unsure, and wondered if the interent was ready for this.
Well, it appears it was!
Common Ground, a work in progress, a place where folks of different backgrounds, and different beliefs, can come and find common ground.
Thanks!

This has become my favorite place on the entire internet

Boy, do I remember that phone call! Ha!
Well, the site has come a long way since then and I'll add selfishly that I think I'm a better person and have grown simply because of the people I met here.
Some of the people here took a huge leap of faith. For some folks, this stuff was not just silly internet bulletin board issues. Some of the decisions they made had real world effects. It really spoke to what kind of people they truly are and I have been awed and inspired by their courage.

BTW Ditto what Coastal said about Francine and Fantaysia. They're the ones with the knowledge to help us doofuses!

Francine and Fantayzya took great risks posting here so very long ago, and helped "common Ground" take shape. I Love them both. (well, one more than the other)

Thanks to all!
No one could have predicted the outcome on this.
It is tremendously successful in that it has allowed everyone to 'voice' anything they want without fear of incrimination. Even those that oppose.
I, for one, really appreciate it.
