Default Why do you participate (or lurk) in this group?

This group is interesting, in part because there are some pretty
knowledgable turners who participate. And it's also interesting
because folks who want to know how to do something, or advice
on buying or making something - ask interesting questions.

And there aren't many dumb questions asked here because
the asker has thought about it and tried to come up with an
answer and hasn't been able to - and - wants to learn the anwer,
or answers.

Sometimes a question can intentionally, or unintentionally
raise other questions, or spark an interesting discussion.

For me, the group is a resource, a place where information
is exchanged - freely (rare in these days when everything
seems to have to be "monetized" it's value expressed in
dollars worth) - and a pretty hospitable group as well.

And it's a pretty good place to pick up an idea that may become
a turned piece - or not.
