Its actually a bit rough to swallow, but I guess I cant understand what they mean by. Personally I prefer PPCGeeks and EverythingQ to XDA. XDA offeres little help to those of us that do not want to dive that far into modifying our devices. Most of use are just looking for nice themes , simple app thats work and answers to some of the more fustrating questions we have in regards to our devices. XDA is on a totally differnt page in that aspect and that fine. They are good at what they do adn PPCGeeks is great at what it does.

+1 for PPCGeeks.

JD i thanked you not because i am on the same side of the fence as you, but rather a guy that does take the time to read up on 90% of the things i do or want to do to my phone. i have not contributed anything, but i try to apply what i read on here to my own device and needs. i have tried a few roms, yours included, and they are great but they are not me. i am still struggling along, trying to read as much as i can whenever i can. i am sure i could list out what i want in a rom and someone could build it for me in a matter of minutes, but that doesn't help me. i am hoping most users will read what you copied from XDA (i am a mamber there too and do a lot of reading there as well) and learn something from it. i will likely never have half the knowledge that most of the chefs have, but i will keep plugging away.

I thanked you because you have contributed by READING and SEARCHING when it is all said and done with you will have a vast knowledge of what goes on behind your ppc .....

I'm with you Tom. I may not know how to build a bug proof rom but I love to check in here everyday, read, and try to learn everything I can. That way I can fix any trouble I run into in the future, plus help someone else down the line...
