Dear TeaChat

Dear TeaChat:

I wish to applaud the moderators especially, and the current administrator (and Adagio now) for the positive atmosphere now on TeaChat.

I have been reading here for years in order to learn about tea from the posters. This is the most pleasant and informative that TeaChat has been especially since the placement of moderators. This was a good decision.

Many of you do not know, but TeaChat was not always this way. Sorry to say that a long ago administrator and even the owners were not always civil. I read the complaints from new customers and was discouraged to put in an order. Some of the posters also were not pleasant. The atmosphere was hostile.

I am so pleased now, that I look in every day. Thanks to Chip and Mary and the other posters who make this chat so valuable.

Thanx teaforme, your check is in the mail.

Seriously, your comments are greatly appreciated. WOW, very kind of you.

Adagio is a great forum owner and has allowed her moderators to do what they deem to be best in all matters of the forum. In addition they permit virtually any tea related discussions, so, we can chat freely about our favorite vendors without fear of retribution.

And TeaChatters are simply the best tea chatters on the planet!!!!!!!!!!!!1

By the way, welcome to TeaChat, please be sure to visit TeaDay, the newest forum of TeaChat located under Teas!!! We discuss what is in our cup, have a daily TeaPoll, and a daily discussion topic. Seems like fun for all.

Thanks, teaforme. Adagio's been very good to Chip and me. They've given us a lot of latitude when it comes to new ideas for the boards and keeping it a fun place. They've really made moderating a pleasure, and it's very good to hear that Chip and I aren't doing too badly for them.

Thanks for popping out of the lurkdom with such kind words!

A little positivitea is always nice.

I don't really remember it being uncivil, but I do tend to see things through rose colored glasses sometimes. I will say it has never been this active, however, nor this diverse. I am glad Adagio finally went with moderators (thanks xine!). It was suggested over and over and I don't think this place would have survived had they not finally gotten some. I do miss some of the old posters, though. Maybe they will show up again some day.

I'll admit, I'm not one of Adagio's easiest customers but every time there's been an issue, they've worked to fix it. That has my business. I don't expect perfection, by any stretch, but it is a tea place I recommend time and time again because they make a good product and they try to fix problems.
