Bob, I'am replying now after reading all of the posts here. . In my opinion it would serve Si's & iHub's survival potential if you and Matt spoke-up louder and more frequent, and also matched with words of progress attempted and amount obtained, those words you just spoke now that i'll echo in a single word that has Si & iHub in common, that being the word 'Investor" a.k.a. trading shares to make money. . Or to reverse it, what Si & iHub is not, as you spoke, a place where folks arrive with prime or only purpose to debate everything under the sun. And as you make it clear, a healthy investment climate for a message board web site includes boards off the investment boards such that off-topics can be put there and include only the folks that want to discuss or read about issues not investment related. . I like your focused point made, that you will focus on the health of Si's boards market investing related as a "now" needed issue such that the "I" in SI & iHub represent the #1 reason for existance. . Many will say that investing boards and all other boards are linked and joined together by folks that use both. I'am sure you will agree but also add that a strategy to keep investing boards free of the riff-raff requires eventually to lessen the riff-raff to a degree such that the external word heard on the streets about Si & iHub speak first as a good place for investing talk rather than flame wars on topics not market related. . Bottom line here you and Matt have already stated on iHub many times is that Si & iHub are both companies with a product/service to sell and get in return the cash needed for continuation and growth either in the form of receiving membership fees for a lessen of the ads, plus extra features, or a free membership viewing ads that produce a revenue. The point you both make is that these ads are driven with a market investing focus and require the I in Si & iHub to mean investing posting by members such that ads will sign on. Doug
