dicksbro,

Good point. It is easy to take this site as a given – especially when there are so very few problems with it. It becomes a "meeting place utility" which is always on.

As I have said elsewhere, I have stayed because of the people. While it is true that I enjoy the visual attributes of some of the people more than I do of others, if the site were not here – and stable – then the whole community, which is primarily one of discourse, would diffuse into the internet.

Let me join you in expressing gratitude to all who provide this forum for our community.
