>>I am not leaving until I am the last one here. I'm not leaving until they force me to use the "new but not improved" SI. I know I'm just a peon(and in the grand scheme of things I don't mean squat to them), but I will probably only spend about 5% of the time I currently do on SI if they force me to use the NEW thing. It's a shame too, because they only needed to add a few features to the Classic. What they have done is a tragedy, In MY most honest opinion

Ah .. was talk.techstocks.com working in real SI last night when everything else was screwed up in exchange2000 and techstocks.com? ... i've been logging in through exchange2000 for a long time, but still have talk.t bookmarked, just never thought to use it. The answer has to be - if there are deluded individuals out there who like all that garbage above the post making it necessary to scroll down even to read a one-line post, who like the lack of real SI's convenient folder/inbox system, who like Go2net robbing them of all but 38 of their 112 PMs, who like big dark blue wasted space to scroll through on every! bleedin! post! - then Go2net should feel free to start up some other server and give it to them, by all means, as far as i'm concerned. Who cares. Fill up their boots, i say. Give 'em a curl on top and call 'em Faerie Queens. Whatever turns their crank. But give me real SI in all its utility every day. If one day i want a big dark blue wasted space on the top of my screen i can just paint the damn thing, and then won't have to wait for it to load on each post either.
