We all use Sig Forum probably more than Google for real in depth answers and probably have not been lead incorrectly. One of the things I've learned, not really from answers but the quality of people in our little community of imaginary friends. You all have helped me with being a dad, a husband, a business owner and friend! Thank you all!

There! I totally agree.

Well said and spot on.

Folks here are extremely generous with their counsel, advice, and wisdom. One could say this forum is a great port in a storm too.

As one of the lessor educated members, I have benefited tremendously from the collective knowledge that is SF. I think it falls into two categories:

1. Practical knowledge. What to buy. How to fix. How to use. Etc. I can’t single out one item; all the knowledge has been valuable in some respect. And expensive sometimes too

2. Social-political-economic. I’m still very naive here. But I think I have a better understanding of the importance of being educated and well informed. Leading to what it means to be free and what it takes / the costs associated of being free.

SF makes me a better person.

Don’t argue with large raptors.

It never ends well.

Ask, read, pay attention.

I’ve learned that it’s not worth giving up on people yet. Which I was heading towards.
Most here are compassionate and caring, and when it’s warranted, you can be direct and frank without being rude. This place is a gem to me.

I’m not alone. One is none and two is one. Get some grease.

There’s so much more but it boils down to these things.

I have learned that some of the most generous and selfless people I've ever intersected with are right here. I am often inspired by what you folks do for each other and your fellow citizens.

Search before you post a new thread.
Read the the thread before you make the decision to contribute.

Sharing knowledge and obtaining knowledge are great reasons to post.
Nobody comes here to bicker, quarrel or change the world.

I must have done something right in the last thirty years.

In a world that's going crazy there is some sanity left. Sure enjoy finding it here.

That its a group of like minded but still individual people.

Not to tick off Para. (Not always, unfortunately.)

Seriously? Too many things to list. Logs of great information here, about guns, politics, and general getting along.

To survive here I've learned to grow a thicker skin, a greater appreciation for the talents of others, and a wider frame of reference.

Maybe not for me to say, but I feel I'm better for it.

Just because you type up a response, it doesn't mean you need to click the "Post Now" button.

I have learned that I don’t know as much about shooting as I thought I did and even less about forums and computers.

Thanks for all the great reading.

Not a thing, but things. That this forum is an oasis on the internet. There is humanity, generosity, a genuine willingness to help what are otherwise total strangers brought together by a common appreciation of firearms, intelligence and understanding, a wealth of knowledge of an incredibly wide variety of subject matter. A feeling of "simpatico", for lack of a better term.

I've lost count of the new things I have learned here on the forum. I love learning something new.

We have an amazingly wide variety of people with so much knowledge and there are also so many good hearted people here.

The most important thing I have learned here is:

Compared to some other members on here I know Jack shit.
