Hi Squatchy,
I come to these forums to learn about everything in the categories you listed, and can often find what I'm looking for by searching without posting, but I read the current threads also to help make myself think about the things I haven't thought of yet. I truly appreciate the detailed postings and responses you contribute here. Don't give up on us! I'd love to contribute at the level and length you do, but personally I just don't know where to find the time. I rarely find myself in front of an actual computer with time to devote to a lengthy response, despite sitting in front of one all day! Often my responses are a function of available time and what I have the patience to type on my phone since that's usually what I have near me when those opportunities arise, and I don't have any of my mead resources or notes near me at those times so that limits the depth of my response. When those times do arise I try to help answer some budding mead maker questions and set someone on the right path, basically in an effort to give back to the forums in some small way what I have gained from reading them.
I hope we can talk more about this in a couple weeks as I'm sure we'll meet at the Mazer Cup 2017. I'll be there for the AMMA conference starting on the 8th and volunteering the rest of the days.
Jeff
