>> short-sighted management have driven away many thousands <<

SI membership has increased, not decreased.

The dryers spent years developing the interface, I can't see others ever coming close to it.

It's free to start your own thread on SI, rather than spend thousands and thousands and thousands on computers and chat software, and then have people police the threads and fix computer / software bugs.

I wish the other chat sites luck, they will need all the luck they can get. Many will fail. Starting a chat site is a BIG project.

Now they were singin' bye bye Messrs Dryers' SI
Clicked mah puter to the old place but the spirit had died

"On Feb. 3, 1959, a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, claimed the lives of rock-and-roll stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. ''The Big Bopper'' Richardson."

Yes, that's a real comment on a company when they would destroy something like SI, eh ... i've never shorted either, but what an excellent pick to start off with, the corporate kultur is evident. Check out the gap-up from late October on the stockwatch chart, it has to come back to fill that, why are people paying eighty bucks US for this thing ... did you know they have at least nine of those gnet cult threads around SI? ... i promised to stay off them as long as they let Classic live, but any day now i shall be released.

But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldn't take one more step.

I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.
