• Nice to see the yelling and screaming end — ChristopherBlackwell, Mon Jun 18 6:52pm
  Nice to enjoy the calm here as most of our screamers and yellers seem to have gone quiet for a while. Now while it is quiet is a good time to call for new blood.
• • Notice that things are speeding up again — ChristopherBlackwell, Thu Jun 21 7:32pm

            I see someone recently posted what I considered hate speech as described in the rules at the top. There might be a temporary ban.
        • Quality >>Quantity — Robert, Fri Jun 22 6:06am
          Ken, in my 3 years or so here, the board has definitely shifted from an R&E format, to a very ultra liberal, America bashing political format. Four or five posters who seem to live here, are obvious... more

      • Why not devote that wasted energy — Clawson, Tue Jun 19 9:57am
