So what's your secret?  How'd you get such an active, friendly group?  Is it
something to do with the weather?  (I'm in Chicago at the moment, which isn't
THAT different from Toronto...)

If somebody wanted to follow your example and build up a similarly large and
amicable group of AFOLs elsewhere, what advice would you give them?

Thanks,

Besides what Chris already said, there is one major reason the Toronto folks get
along so well..... they meet in person.  They know each other and hang out
together.  When people actually meet other people something magical happens,
they become amicable over the internet.  It puts a face to a name.  Flaming
rarely happens.
