That's a very good list. For me, the most important are:

1) Fellowship and comeraderie in an often-lonely profession (especially since I tend to be a loner) -- several good friendships are growing out of UT involvement.
2) Up to date answers and multiple approaches to solving problems -- plenty to learn from and think about while scanning each day's messages.
3) It's a place that facilitates giving back to the community.
4) Daily news updates are helpful, especially when I'm too busy to scout out the news for myself.
