I enjoy posting on the LED, since it is one of the few lists I've gained enormously from. It is almost a committment to give back to this wonderful online community a fraction of what I've received from it.

A recent e-mail exchange with a reader of LED set me thinking about my relationship with this wonderful forum. Here's how it went:

"Dr.Mani, thank you for your interesting post on the LED ... As an MD, how do you find the time to post on the list ?"
I responded with my usual stock answer - which is the truth, incidentally ;-)
"Simple. I don't sleep!"
But this time, I sat back for a moment to think about it again. Why do I cut down on my sleep to post on LED? Here's what I realized: LED has GIVEN me - more than ten times over - what I have contributed to it. That's why.

 

My association with this digest started in August 1996. That was when I signed up for the LE Banner Exchange and came to hear about the LED. Luckily! Today, after three years, I can honestly say that of everything I have learnt about the Internet - setting up a website, promoting it, generating revenue off it, and all else - at least ONE THIRD was learnt from this list alone! This vibrant, joyous, interactive, polite and friendly online community has taught me more than *any other* discussion group, book or newsletter about succeeding in my online activities.

By reading the many instructive, illustrative and insightful postings, product or service reviews, techie tips and tricks, I have learnt about cutting edge technology, strategy and breaking developments in the oh-so-quickly evolving arena of the Internet. It has given me (as it gives you) an edge over anyone else on the Net, making each one of us a LEADER.

Best of all, it is moderated by one of the finest human beings I've come across in my years online. In turns witty, charming, tireless, encouraging, optimistic, knowledgeable - and always positive - the indefatigable Mr.Adam Audette has ensured that this list (as very few others do) has a very high ratio of relevant posts. There's more wheat than chaff on LED, and that means a lot to a professional like me who has precious little time to spare on a hobby-turned-passion - my website!

Sincerely
