Hi Merv thanks for the comments. I will have to leave you with these final words, since I believe much more from me is beating a dead horse, I made and stand by my beliefs. So with that, I must conclude that I have not called the FHU..to plead any restoration for the board...and the reason is this...discussion whether on a board, on the radio, on the tv face to face will always have its combatitive phases....and in the end all the naysayers (even though they do not mean to be negative) tend to focus ONLY on the negative aspects...even in our discussion (yours and mine) note that you have not brought up and emphasized what the positive aspects were and always will be...the gist of your message about why to remove a board is the negative aspects. Their are ten reasons to keep discussion going for every one to remove it.

Hi Al,

Yes...true. I was just making an argument on the negative aspects regarding the website and the board. I think it is good to have the message boards and the mailing lists so we can communicate with people we have something major in common with.

Roy was not happy with the message board and he mentioned animosity, profanity and I think obscenity. I did not see much of that on the board so I wondered why he doesn't seem to want it. I have not been on the board much lately before it went down but I didn't see much of what Roy spoke of on there.

I don't know for sure of course why he does not seem too enthusiastic about it so I am kind of guessing but I do see problems for the website with it.

I have no problem with being outspoken. It only seems to be a problem when it gets too insulting or appears to be coming from a hostile place, which to some is "tough love". That just brings on more of the same.

Thanks for your input.
Merv

Can you tell me the negative aspects for Roy to continue on the readio? You know there are safety issues with him spreading his message....I think you see my point.

Anyway, I could do a whole speech on this or better..and for the sake of practicality I will end it here, if you write back on this, then you deserve the last word.

( i will copy this in the "fhu demise" topic where it is more appropos, thanks again...because you have actually further educated me)
