I am a newcomer and its not a problem really and some times its really exciting.
It feels really good and many times I can identify with the issues prevalent in the americas and the other parts of the world.
Also, since I have started venturing into the friday afternoon threads, I am laughing my guts out.
I have definitely started visiting the site everyday( unless I am too busy or something else) and have started posting more than one messages/posts per day at times.Sometimes I havve to stop myself from venturing too deep into the previous threads.It takes a lot of time.
Importantly since I am self employed( I work from home), I dont have a boss to worry about.
As has been said earlier by others, Cyburbia is surely a learning experience.
In fact I wanted to start a thread a few days back just to write what I have written in this post.
How well they respond to inquiries on issues of zoning, planning law, theory, design, economic development, and etc. has given me some insight into their capabilities and how well they think (and write)
I quite agree that so many responses are of a very high order of intellect and show a deep understanding of the planning issues and aspects. Also a clear mind and the ability to put it down in good language.
I am happy to note that the are extra curricular thread and subject also evince a lot of recations and activity. It shows that good planners indulge in variety and it makes them better actually.
IS this unique( the cyburbia thing) or the many forums which I am sure exist also have similar levels of interactions?
Somebody would know. Maybe Chet??
