Well --- ??

Even though I have most recently been a 'lurker', Tarboard has been a VERY interesting, informative group, even the slight disagreements are that, just like "Real People". I know there is a necessary "Academic" side to the research and commemoration of Mr. Ransome which is more obvious on the "Official Site"; but I really like the give and take of the Tarboardistas, - - - like Real People, like the characters in our books!

If this goes away, I probably will also. I have liked the "thread" format as opposed to most discussion groups where each comment is listed in time order. I do not like to have to "register" on other sites (even though I am "registered" on Tarboard) - the others seem to be too "Official" and just WHAT are they going to DO with my registration information?.

As I have stated in the past, I have been an Arthur Ransome fan since first reading the series in 1949, and was very excited to find Tarboard! Now, I can no longer have my daily "fix" of Sisterhooks, Beckfoot Plumbing and attendant commentary!

There are "Changes" and then there are "Changes" - some good and others not so good, just for "change sake". Like all good things, some, unfortunatly, seem to fade away into history.

I want to thank Ian for hosting my morning wake up forum for so many years which gets me going each day!!!

Thank you,
Eric Abraham - World Famous Artist
