... an absolute waste of your talent to get involved in the monitoring of an obscure chat board of little import.

You could perhaps say the same of me, but I "created" without monitoring, and the board became organic with a life of its own. Sure, there's a bit of randiness and raucous, but, unlike others, I am extremely tolerant. If I don't like what someone posts, I don't delete or ban ... I push back. :)

You made the right decision to disassociate yourself from a board that is way beneath your dignity.
