I find it amusing that many of the top posters (by post count) are those whose sole commodity is time, the billable hour, in 0.1 increments. Imagine the millions that have been wasted on this dang site!
To me, the best thing about WB is that it’s shown that we don’t need (no friggin’) moderating. Sure, there are some heated exchanges from time to time.

Thank you for providing a place for everyone from the prolific post’ers to the lurkers like me. From the winemaker’s I’ve learned about to the suggestions of restaurants and travel destinations I am truly grateful Todd and the Berserkers for this community.

Lots of water under the bridge since then, but it’s been quite a ride. And it couldn’t have happened without Todd!
It’s hard not to come on this thread and not say thank you - It’s such a well run site, and so many palates that I sincerely respect -
And a big shout out for providing us with the Political page, such a great way to let off steam - and enough serious students of politics that I learn something every time I venture there -
Learned a lot about wine and also how to have thick skin when posting online.
With that said, I only have one person blocked, that says something about the rest of you.
All polls must include Brett Farve.
There is a rumor that we have a search function.
