Bert,
I know you were not dissin' me. Actually at times I'm sort of feeling the same way you do. I like and miss the "community feeling" of old AC. I guess I still belong back in Burlington VT or with you in Maine even if I was born and breed down in "The Bronx". Let's Go Rangers and Yankees!
And you are right, it is hard to tell what is getting thru and what is being sluffed off, whether by fellow users or by Jon and AC, which at times can be demoralizing for a guy like yourself who likes to pitch in. Although not well written, I really was writing as a form of support and confirmation for you and your feelings. And to explain to all what I believe is really happening. We have gotten what we wished for.... Can we have our cake and eat it too? I'm not too sure. Be well.
Paul
