I am siding w/Gil on this one.
There are many long time posters, to include HL's, who have stated their reasons to lurk for a while. Many feel the quality of the forum has taken a Southward turn.
With my PC problems for 2 days, I come back this morning to see mostly bickering, name calling, jibs and jabs, personal stuff etc.
We need to rename this board "The EDIG Saturday Night Fights" if this nonsense keeps up.
I agree there is nothing NEW to really sink our theeth into just yet, but that will change over the next 6 weeks IMO. Until then, we can still be civil if we choose to.
