[> [> [> Subject: Re: An observation Author: Andrew [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:03:58 03/15/02 Fri Good points. I think I was making the point in regard to Thom's question on the lack of discussion. I've nothing against having more than one forum to get different opinions flowing. I do think the Dunshire forum is probably taking some of the 'business' from this one and the RMMB. >What would life be like with one newspaper, and only >one news channel? > > > >>No disrespect intended for Mr. Brazius - this forum >>was useful when it started, and still is to some >>extent.

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: An observation Author: Bill [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:13:11 03/15/02 Fri Everyone flocks to something new. And in a year someone will come up with a board that takes a good chunk of visitors from Dunsire's site. It's a cycle, there's always something new coming down the pike. We the internet posters and readers make out like bandits. Look at all the places we can communicate now! :) What I think is cool is that Thom's comment on inactivity created activity. Good work man!!! :) >Good points. I think I was making the point in regard >to Thom's question on the lack of discussion.
