It’s a bit like social media, we all want as many likes or followers we can get and real purpose is lost. What most of us here want is a forum to express our opinions or our betting perspectives and analysis in a way that is respected and valued. Sometimes that means a smaller forum but over time it will grow. The idea is not to chase likes but put out there something we can share and some can learn from.
Lost a friend and mentor last year to a freak accident. A world class photographer who encouraged me to continue to do my photography as it was on point with some of the best. He said that it had taken him years to make the breakthrough and he was very good. He just kept putting his work out there and it finally paid off.
Good things take time, great things take longer. Respect is earned. There will always be haters, they hate success and will try to tear it down.
Hesi and Pete, you started this site with a mission. We thank you for that. Let us keep it moving forward with genuine passion and knowledge, not a gossip style magazine for the deluded and bewildered.
If I sound positive here, it is because I arrived back in NZ yesterday and am sitting here at my nieces place in TItirangi drinking coffee and ready to visit my Mum who turns 84 today and I am going to surprise her. Haven’t seen her in 4 years. NZ is where my heart is. Despite all that is not so great, it is still the best place in the world to live in my opinion.
Keep the dialogue on here respectful and helpful and it will grow. Over and out from a loyal supporter.
