It's a damn shame the overall continued erosion of insightful discourse on this forum, just this thread alone gives me the feeling of being on some CNN panel. Hell I can be part of that by just watching CNN or others LOL.
To boot there's the sister trends of small talk, and beginner type conversations. If this dwindling number of posting members and the silly talk would have been what I was looking at almost 2 years ago now thinking about wanting back in, the interest simply wouldn't have been there in the first place to even bother.
Not trying to stir things up, this is just a status report on what surely I am not the only one noticing.
Carry on.
