Although I've read this board for years, I've only recently been spending a lot of time here. As is always the case with these forums, after a while you get a good sense of the tenor of a post before reading it, simply by noting the author. We all make our own lists of posters we track and those we avoid.
In particular, I'd like to thank a couple of posters who each share their wealth of information, but also notably contribute in a respectful and positive manner.
Thank You Pal Joey and GavestonPS! ...and many others!
I'm thankful for all the true theatre lovers here who go to the theatre to experience its magic and who then convey that experience in their posts.
This is in contrast to the theatregoers here who go thinking about what they're going to write on Broadway World, and who rush back here to dissect a show from top to bottom as if it were a specimen in a biology lab, all the while dropping names of shows they never saw and know nothing about save what they learned on IBDB or Wikipedia fifteen minutes previously.
I'm surprised no therapist of yours (I'm sure there have been many) ever got you to understand that you have no idea what other people are thinking and therefore this scenario about a certain stripe of theater-goer who is only thinking about what she's going to write on Broadwayworld is your fantasy, something you are projecting on others.
I'm thankful for posters who have a sense of humor.

I'm thankful for any poster who is nice to everyone regardless of their opinions and doesn't expect the rest of us to treat his or her views as the "end-all-be-all."
