I appreciate the sentiment. Top of The World Ma It is not my style to tell other folks what they should do I do not plan to try to ", I think we should tell everyone to stop using the new SA blog format immediately." I would think most folks will make their own decisions about that. I do not think highly of what I have seen of it.

Top Of the Word Ma, I am going to make a concerted effort to understand this blog, as I dont want to miss all the good info and conversation from SA. I, too, very much dislike the new chat at SA, and wont use it myself. Its important to me to try and keep up with what Ron and Chowder have created, and had they decided to park themselves at the new SA chat, I would have made the attempt over there. I think this will be a self fulfilling prophecy in that people will gravitate to the conversations that they are interested in and follow the people that have been of most use to them. Im not sure that will be at SA chat.

Re: "In summation, I think we should tell everyone to stop using the new SA blog format immediately. " It's a free country and people can do as they like. People will naturally gravitate to the platform where they find the best content and usability. Certainly, private messages to selected individuals might convince them to try things here. Re: The format of the SA chat. I think in some ways the SA chat is easier to use than this one, once you learn two basic things. It has two major drawbacks that I can see: 1. It's difficult to keep track of what you have read and what you haven't. 2. It someday will not be free. As such, I likely will migrate here for my primary posting. I will accept the gift of free premium access to SA (since I didn't have to provide payment info) and will occasionally post there. The additional data available to me with premium is nice, but to be frank, I've never trusted the data SA puts out - too many errors in the past. As a trial, I created a Dividend_Growth_Investing private room over on stocktwits.com. It actually is remarkably similar, format-wise, to the SA chat. It's advantage over the SA site is that it seems it will remain free. I'm not enamored with this site, but the content seems to be migrating here and the site is usable once you practice a bit with it. Dave
