Here's a recent post on the Yahoo LX200GPS list. Gives one pause: "I would love to know where some folks went. I am not a forum junkie so don't spend time searching for them, but would like to find other additional sources of information and experiences to learn from. Also, am I the only person in here who gets almost nothing from personal attack, be it real or perceived, and then the inevitable defensive posturing that follows. I have no idea what this forum is for, I'm too new to know why it was set up. I guess to share experiences, rather than to bash or rant. If people want to 'get' at me in a forum, then I will respond in a personal mail or will ignore it. What I won't do is turn it into a bar brawl. I feel like there are too many people in forums, this one and many others, who do not consider their posts before they hit the send key. I doubt if they would speak like they do if they were face to face with the person or the whole group. There are many contributors in here who do consider their posts before sending. I agree with Doc. that this forum is not very telescope / astronomy oriented at the moment. If you look back at the recent few weeks worth of postings, some is good and contributing to the knowledge pool. A lot of it however is just gripes and digs that I feel is best dealt with elsewhere. Perhaps if we find where some of the other contributors have gone, I will find you there when I arrive. I hope so!"
