I'm actually pretty offended by this whole topic and wonder about the OP’s motives.

We all have a choice to participate or not and we do it free. This forum is pretty special and it could be gone tomorrow.

So it doesn't matter why we have been given this opportunity to share our experiences and help each other, but we are fortunate to have it and I personally don't care about the reasons behind it.

If you need a mission statement from CPAP.com to participate then don't participate.

Don't be.



But if anyone is looking for a serious answer to the thrust of the OP's question, it has been given in various ways by Johnny on numerous occasions. For example: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=53579&p=497226#p497226

jnk, Thanks for the link!

That was a pretty amazing response. In this day and age of the bottom line and cutting costs, it blows me away to read something like that.

Ditto what Jeff says.

After reading your link to our host's validation of this forum, Johnny has even deeper respect from me than before.
I've tried a few other XPAP forums and this is the ONLY one I currently spend any time at - the others fell sadly by the wayside, totally lacking in my expectation of support, advice and awesome people to bounce ideas off.

Thanks Jeff! And Thanks, Johnny!!

Cheers,

I heartily agree.

When I first started this thread, my motives weren't even clear to me.

Partly idle curiousity, partly a crazy desire to incrementally improve this already great site even a tiny bit further.

A "living SDB book" would be a great start, imho.

But I could be wrong, as always.


_________________________________________________________________


So, I began with a semi-serious purpose.

But mars immediately sidetracked my semi-serious motives with his wickedly subversive sense of humor.

No stopping the indomitable train called Laughter, I quickly gave up any "serious" goals, and let, imho, a vastly underrated goal take it's place: It's called "just stfu and let the good times roll!"

Humor is indeed, the best medicine. So I let the good times roll.

And they did, but meanwhile, back at the ranch, this understandable, but I believe, quite misplaced undercurrent of paranoia called "wtf is he after?" temporarily darkened some members minds.

Guess I'll file that (hopefully receding) undercurrent under the "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished" folder.

Meanwhile, I'd much prefer that the "let the good times roll" vibe continues.

At least until someone has the unmitigated gall to ask me for a "Mission Statement".

At that point, I could do no more than quote my betters:

Ouch! Jim, some day, we will meet in a a dark alley . . . and all I ask for is mercy, I don't wish to laugh so hard that I snort my Bosco-laced milkshake out of my nose.

Funny, your motives seem clear to me. You like to stir the pot.
