With all due respect jf1, drop out is not the only poster concerned about the direction this board is going. But he is probably the poster with the most knowledge about what the current changes could mean for the future.
It's not the crap I miss, it's the sense of humor, the knowledge that whatever is posted will stay put, that we are not divided into cliques where one poster has a board within a board. Yeah,I know, I'm old and I resist change.
Or maybe I just believe you don't tamper with what works.
But it wasn't working. It was the same fight oer and over and over again. You knew what someone was going to say without even reading their post. It gets old when the only thing, day after day, is partisan bickering. Maybe it is fun for the bickerers, but not for anyone else. I think you can have a good discussion AND humor.
Nobody that matters wrote: Two men walked into a bar.
The third ducked.
[offtopic:cysassbo]Did OSHA investigate the workman's comp and fine the individuals that put the bar in place without the appropriate placards and warning signs? I'm guessing the first two were probably texting on their smart phones and not watching where they were going.[/offtopic:cysassbo]
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Maybe so, but so far we aren't. The board has a very different feel to it the last week or so.....like children forced to be on their best behavior for great Aunt Edna.
