+1!!! Has ECF helped save my life? I dunno, but it's a great support group, a great source of information, and it has definitely made it easier to stay away from stink-sticks. I can get on and mine for information and nearly always find the answer(s) to my questions. Most folks here are really friendly and congenial, and that's pretty cool. Most forums I've been on have always had trolls, and here they seem to be few and far between. I have learned a lot about making my own
juice and what kind of equipment I might want to invest in in the future, and which suppliers to be leary of. All in all this has been a great, life-changing experience. To be able to walk away from a decades-old habit without looking back still amazes me every single day.
