In 20 years ( I've been reading FR for longer than my sign-up date ) there have been changes in the quality of threads and posters. Not every thread nor every forum ( some forums I don't bother with at all ) has "irked" me. OTOH...lately many threads have been off the wall and nothing more than gossip/obscure garbage passing as "news", and even recent OPUS threads not worth a bucket of warm piss.
