Wow!. I've been a paying member (voluntarily, I might add) for only about 3 years now. The main reasons I joined QJ are:

(1) the information posted here is generally very useful and deals in detail I can find nowhere else with one of the few areas in North America I truly love - namely, Quetico.

(2) compared to other boards I have visited or participated on, QJ appears to be well moderated and VERY civilized. I've have had personal PMs with a number of the members and found them to be very generous and helpful and pleasant to converse with.

Yes, QJ is very Quetico (or further north) centric - as Linda says - but that is exactly what I'm looking for. I would have no problem with more posts dealing with the Boundary Waters, by the way.

For what it's worth, that's my perspective.
