turq, where did I claim to leave?! I only said I had signed up on the_peak. Obviously I'm participating in both places. As for us trying to get our own way, surely you realize how ironic that is?

This used to be a good forum, although it has always been a contentious one. It has degenerated recently and some of the best posters have left... Ahem. NO ONE appears to have left.
A bunch of poseurs -- including Buck, WLeed, Share, and YOU, feste -- *claimed* to have left, but it would seem you're all still here, still whining, still complaining, and still trying to get your own way. What's up with that? Aren't any of you honest enough to leave and actually *stay* gone? Especially now that you've got somewhere to go? T'would seem that all of you are much more invested in bitching and whining than you are in having a non-negative place to post. You now HAVE that -- at least theoretically -- but you're still here bitching. What should the rest of us make of this? It's almost as if you're all hypocrites who *claim* that what you want is a "negativity-free environment" but when one is provided to you, all you can do is stick around in the old environment and bitch and moan and...dare I say it...be negative. , and I think some action is needed to revive it. I suggest a restoration of the posting limits, which actually worked pretty well for some time. A little policing from the moderators would not go amiss either. For example, the recent post that contained the obscene phrase, which I will not repeat here, should have been deleted by the moderators as a breach of community standards. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : Dear, Dear Rick; How about taking themonth of December to suspend posting at all to FFL?
