Useless Content & Extraordinary Content, by Paterson Burns

It seems that some "Masonic" discussion boards are full of witty banter over useless nonsense that has nothing to do with Masonry.

I realize some folks have compulsivity issues when it comes to hitting the reply button, but wouldn't it be dynamic if the content of this board in particular were filled with the reflections, experiences and exchanges of thoughful, intelligent and articulate regular Freemasons, working to promote honor to the fraternity?

Can you imagine truly filling the void left by others and being a resource for those seeking relevent, referenced and accurate content, and Mentors to help explain it and provide context?

Here lies the opportunity to create a relevent resource for "Mainstream" Regular Masons and those seeking to become the same. I know that if I can actually confidently refer a friend to an online discussion forum for regular Freemasons, I will.

There is a short list of discussion boards that are worthwhile and not a total waste of time, and hundreds that are garbage.

Give them what they're looking for, not what they've seen.
