My intention is not to denigrate what you guys do. I love this place and value the information tremendously. Tom was simply elucidating an "atmospheric" change on the board and I agree with him wholeheartedly.

I'm sure you are right, the effect has been caused by the tremendous growth of the board. Just as a large hurricane creates it's own conditions to a degree I suppose the transformation of this board from a Cat 1 to a Cat 5 also necessitates the change in conditions. Our lamentations don't belong on the main page.

Thanks for all your hard work, Mike, and all the moderators and volunteers.

There have been improvements along with the perceived shortfalls we have pointed out. Among the improvements, the board is always available and responsive. Thanks for the capital investment which allows this.
