Hi banshee.
Welcome to the message board.
I see we have had the same approach to this. I have only been learning about John Wayne for about a year. Before that I had seen only a few of his movies. It was only after buying a few of his films on DVD that I realized just how much I have liked them. I really had no plans of staying here for long when I started out, but due to the not too big but very knowledgable and equally friendly and helpful crowd that posts here frequently I felt no call for leaving. What you can learn here and how easy it is to get help here if some questions pop up just makes me come back and it feels like a few minutes to relax and enjoy the discussions going on. And even there are some members who post here that seems to have an incredible amount of knowledge on certain subjects (John Wayne, of course but also filmmaking, guns or whatever your interests are) this is a place where you can ask questions about anything and never recieve any unfriendly words, just good answers.
My hat off to everyone who are here on a regular basis. You know who you are.
Regards
Popol Vuh
