Yes but, like you Dave........
I do agree with some of the points he made. There gets to be a lot of diary entries as well as messages that should be sent via email or telephone. I've been here since shortly after the board came online too and I agree, there's a lot more clutter. Of course, there's a heck of a lot more members too! Though, the new format really cuts down on the amount of drivvel one needs to sort thru to get to favorite topics also, which is great. I agree, the campfire format is the best, but some people use it as their own private message center.
I had to change my handle as I could not resolve issues with my old one. I sort of like the looks of the new "place" overall!
