How much has TUSCL helped you overall?

I discovered TUSCL pretty late in my SC career (just the last couple years actually), although i think i had a favorite/bookmarked discussion/article from around 10 years ago, maybe less. Strange how back then, i thought the discussions were more informative and useful than the reviews (which may have always been semi-private so i probably didn't access them, nor did they seem all that prolific; i don't remember but i think the format was also way different). But even then, i didn't think too much of the site, still getting more of my info from the now dreaded SCL and just good 'ol experience and trial and error. Fast forward to the near present. I joined and started submitting reviews to get a better understanding of what other experienced PLs were getting out of their club visits. I found it wasn't too different than mine. Found a few more tricks of the trade and how to be a little more savvy or sophisticated about a few things and maybe a little bit of validation of my own methods, but my SC habits and style were pretty much set by then. Would i have benefited by joining earlier? Probably. By a considerable amount and a much quicker learning curve? I'll never know, but that's all water under the bridge now. Strangely, i've probably spent more money in those last few years and a little bit more than most of my other SCing years combined. Maybe it's just the higher volume and quality of fun i've been having, despite minimizing the waste in terms of less satisfying experiences which i never really paid too much too often for. Also, i've taken advantage of or just enjoyed in general the overall wealth of info and just the tremendous knowledge base that can be found in these discussions and amongst other TUSCLers and the occasional stripper aside from all the chaff that comes with the territory.
So how goes it for the rest of you?
