Gotta say it! This board is the most positive place on the web. And I have been around it helping with all kinds of research. I know there are "vents" but mostly they lead us to be forewarned or think carefully about something that someone else has experienced to help us avoid that ourselves.
Here, I know I am among friends. Heck, I even get a good feeling looking at the names and avatars! The moderators do an excellent job and I am so grateful for this atmosphere. Except among this group of quilters, I have not found its equal. Perhaps we could use moderators like ours in the "real" world.
