Cross Posting

[ronmarabito2002]

Welcome to our Forum Brian. You will find that there is little
difference between the Wanderlodge Forum and Wanderlodge Group.
Each is a spin-off of the original Wanderlodge Forum on Yahoo that
was started by Bruce Morris and Ernie Ekberg. Bruce had a vision
for a different kind of site that had more capability and decided to
make it a pay as you go site. Ernie, on the other hand wanted to
remain a free site, which you are in now under a new name. Gary
McFarland had purchased the old site domain and started that forum
up again.

Well, you probably want to know why we have these three forums and
what purpose does it serve? All I can say is: Vision and
personalities. All the forums are good and will provide you with
any information you want. Many members visit all three on a regular
basis. It's unfortunate, but that's the way it is and there's no
point in discussing the reasons any further.

We look forward to your posts, questions and contributions.
