I've spent the last hour navigating the new format, and I like it. More colorful, easier on the eyes, all the arcane religious discussions are confined to one forum as are the nonsense threads....John and Jim continue to bring state-of-the-art web technology to this wonderful forum.
Some folks just don't like change.
BTW, I second your comments about folks who gripe and don't carry their weight financially on this forum. They've got no standing, as far as I'm concerned.
sink ... if Jim hasn't disposed of that legal mess he needs some sage advice. The software here has value, the Post and Times have message forums ... you know what I mean? God, I learned over time to go face to face and shitcan the lawyers. They draw up the paperwork from our direction, that's what they are good for. Jim's in revenue box as long as he's under court order ... get rid of it ASAP ... then charge $25 per, annually for access here. That's the cover charge, that's the good faith investment in the forum.
Sink, you and I both have inklings about the life view of people who would be willing to throw $25 at BadJoe for Logon authorization. All of the Canteeners! The positive and happy people. The immigration threads would vanish.
