What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

I've learned so much for a so short period of time. (Mostly english slang that Rachel teaches me on a daily basis). haha Feel like I've been living there for months now. I think only one word is needed to describe my life there: Intense.

The true reason I'm coming! Philosophy is speculation, Zen is participation. Participate in the night leaving, participate in the evening coming, participate in the stars and participate in the clouds;+1 color=red> make participation your lifestyle and the whole existence becomes such a joy, such an ecstasy. You could not have dreamed of a better universe.

Stopping in a few times before and then many more times 'during' the Crash, I feel as though I am an exponentially better person for having met the glorious team that is the CS MTL Collective. Everyone there inspired me to no end and it was amazing to see just how well so few people can work under so much pressure in so little time to accomplish so much. I owe my summer to these guys - they're the absolute greatest and I look forward to meeting back up with them upon my return! Thanks again for everything!!

Nice and friendly people. Provided me with nice dinner on 25 July upon my arival via Illinois (USA) from West-Europe.
Helped me out whith my (heavy) luggage, could even borrow a bike. Let me use their internet-computers for some time.
Got much more understanding for all the time and effort they and others put in the CS-project.

The CSC is a cool initiative by the founder(s) of CS to decentralize the CS network.
