I've been a fan of skating in general and have had my particular favorites for almost 20 years, but this is the first on-line community I've felt moved to join. I've loved any number of "great" skaters, but Johnny is probably the only one who I've felt is truly special, in that he has a mesmerizing quality. When he's on the ice, I can't look away! After discovering this posting board and his official web site, I'm continuously amazed at how smart he is, how articulate and funny and honest. I love how he speaks his mind and doesn't just mouth some pat little phrases that he knows won't cause controversy and will make everyone happy. He's his own man, and it's impossible not to admire him for that. I think his skating is what drew me to him initially, but it's his brains and personality that have made me stay.

This board is a terrific community! So many differences, but everyone is so respectful of each other, and the moderators do a wonderful job keeping the topics organized. Bravo!

Hugs to all,
