We are the biggest bunch of oddballs on the net. I have been censured here probably 100 times over 20 years. But I'm still welcome. No one tries to change me or brow beat me. We get along the way folks ought to. We take each other as we come and find common ground. Permies is really something. Paul did a good job, and so does the team. Grow Network Forums were similar, and missed. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if we agree on anything if we can help each other grow stuff and get by. In real life, my neighbor is an ass who cut trees on my property until I stopped him with a shotgun. We still clear roads and get groceries for each other. We all have to survive, with a little help from our friends.

Hello fellow oddball - my passion is natural dyeing . . . as in using plants to make colour on fibres and yarns.  My other half always says, 'Hello, she's doing witchy stuff again". The group I belong to was also referred to as the Sinners and Wierdos (by a friend!) actually Spinners and Weavers.
Note: time passes quickly when you're having fun.  Let's keep supporting each other in our odd (to some) endeavours and ignore the rest Although luring in some of the unconvinced seems like a mighty fine idea

I know some folks call themselves oddball.

I would rather say the greatest and nicest folks on the net!
