The Never Ending Pool

.
In Bill Pagel's Norfolk Set List thread, Joshua Chamberlain remarked that The NEP was "just a message board." He had assumed (often, a foolhardy act) by what I had said, that I needed to cool off. At least, that was the jist of it, I believe.

If I'm not mistaken, Nutopia, a Moderator, here, made the same remark, some months ago, while addressing someone else. I'm quite sure that a few others have said this, as well, over the years, and if not here, then at DylanPool.

What, then, is meant by "just"? Ie, it's just a message board?
