This "Welcome Back" message was originally posted at the re-activation of TFL about a year ago. It is as valid now as it was then, so it remains in place, simply to clarify the intent of the forum. If there are any questions, please feel free to e-mail or Private Message me or any other staffer.

Welcome. Welcome BACK, to many, and an initial welcome to some. Some will call this The NEW Firing Line, and, in ways, it is. In most ways, though, it is simply a continuation of what TFL was when it closed down at the end of 2002. The bench mark has already been set, and we simply need aspire to remaining at that level.
This particular forum is far more technically oriented than some of the others on The Firing Line, and, so, we have historically had far less, uh, vigorous discussion and downright argument than on, say, Legal & Political, and General Discussion. Everyone has an opinion, certainly, and I want everyone to be comfortable in expressing his/her own views on a topic.
Me, I’m basically lazy. My goal is to rock along, watch the proceedings, actually “moderate” as little as possible, and contribute from time to time. In a separate “sticky,” I’ll post some guidelines and requirements about entries dealing with “Extra Heavy” loads.
Again, welcome and I look forward to us all having a lot of good times together.
