Member Comments
"The email group is what I enjoy most about being a member of Triple Nine. It's an interesting group of people that are deadly smart (and sometimes ignorant) with varied interests and many strong opinions that are all over the map.
There are a lot of interesting topics, some controversial, some not. Occasionally I'll get my ass handed to me in a conversation, but that's what makes it so interesting. I'm not nearly so challenged in my everyday life. These people make me think!
Joining Triple Nine has been a huge, positive change in my life. I think it keeps me sane. Thank you for being there."
