"As far as inner-circles --- those exist just about everywhere --- schools, churches, the workplace, even in families. They usually exist of the people who are willing and able to put the most time in, the most time behind the scenes so of course they gain the most say..."

EXACTLY!! FR.com has more than its share of retired folks and stay-at-home mothers manning the moderator slots, and it makes sense fer folks to consider their level of sensibility regarding common courtesies, etc.

"I am not willing nor able so I won't be in an inner circle --- except maybe at work which is somewhat the case because that's what my time has to be devoted to --- and family."

Yer priorities are certainly well-placed, Fitz...

"For me moving on is fine --- but I still get my humor where I may --- and I do still like to see what goes on --- which why I tend to check out the biker bar here --- or I'm just plain nosy if you prefer to call it that. Or it's the rebel that's in a lot of us."

Remember back whenever anyone would leave FR.com under protest--and it happened hilariously often--everybody would post an Opus explaining their reasons fer leaving FR.com once and fer all...LOL!! I usedta crack up at every one of these self-important rants, but the Opus's kept on coming. Why would folks find it necessary to write an Opus about leaving someplace they claim is not worth their time and effort? It's becuz we've got something invested in FR.com, just like we have something invested in LP.org. And there really is no need to walk away from one investment to pursue another. I'd keep all my options open if I were you.
