Sad, interesting piece of info, Jim. Thanks. I also noticed many post numbers were missing in the regular advice section when I last visited - it remindes me of Nixon tapes! I stopped using the site when I found it too hard to use. The original deal was BB jr would do a chat site and I would do a discussion topic for free for the masses (unlike SI) on this new suite101.com thing I was writing for. BB Jr. has expanded and gone commercial, but I seem to hold on to a good audience and the quality of discussion is excellent on my free site.... I also have an utek discussion site in my list and any member can start a new topic and I never censor unless the language is offensive or threatening other members. Here is the UTEK URL: suite101.com where I have 182 posts so far (I use the topic to archive interesting and important information besides the general discussion banter). I guess I should go notify BB.com readers of my UTEK site? Generally, I find if you let the ruthless, nasty posts go unanswered that they eventually die out as they had their say and got it out of their system. Free speech and all and if BB can't take it, I feel sorry for him as this is part of the history of the net from a decade before he started talking about it on his show....Old Usenet days with all the rec.yourfavoritetopic groups. The demise of the usenet, many of us predicted and were right, was when aol started pumping thousands of clueless folks onto the internet who had no idea of the internet etiquet or interest in following it.
