I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has participated in the [msg=234255]New to forum -- need some advice[/msg] thread. The original poster of that thread contacted me prior to posting, asking for help. I told her to post here and expect maybe a few answers over the weekend, but the bulk would likely occur on Monday. She got around 60 or 70 response before Monday even rolled around! Now it's nearing 100.
First and foremost, I think of this site as a place for surveyors to connect with each other to discuss surveying-related stuff. But I often wonder about the public aspect of it -- can we provide surveying advice to them? I think so and that thread proves it. I also think it helps bring the profession to a new level and can help non-surveyors to better understand the value in hiring a land surveyor.
I may not practice surveying anymore but I will always have a connection to it, whether it be through this forum or other means. And I want surveyors to enjoy the respect and value they deserve for the service they provide to the public.
So thanks again for making that thread fun to read but -- more importantly -- helpful to our guest.
🙂
Keep level and survey on!
I hope she compiles all the replies, and hones out of it a good answer.
