You mean nobody showed you the vast pron collection? That's why most people are here.

Just kidding of course.

I enjoy the mental exercise of figuring out some of the more interesting problems posted here. And I enjoy how peoples posts motivate me to figure out things that I might not have otherwise considered. It's a great place to find an always fresh supply of ideas. And I enjoy the interaction of regulars' personalities. I discovered the site in mid-2003, and here I am today.

I've learned a lot from everyone here, as well as from my own work on digging into the details of problems others post here. It helps to keep my curiosity alive, and that keeps me learning.

So I guess that's why the Monastery "does it" for me.
