FR is in a state of decline, been a longtime lurker, not as good as it once was, that is sad.

Fr is not in a state of decline, and I have been around since early 98 (as beekeeper).I think it is better. Fewer disruptors and a lot more civil. I have even been able to cut back on Reynolds wrap.

The number of posts, however, has increased fourfold at least. A little more discipline on double posting is needed, but because there are so many double/triple and quadruple posts of the same article, you generally are able to see the good ones without having to go too far back.

BTW, the article the author is referring to was a letter to the editors, not an article and contained many untruths, including their being kicked off FR when they actually left on their own.

Liar.
