I look back at some of the archives and wonder where these ppl have gone. There's a wealth of DETAILED info in there. Ppl like Weave and Wild Bill were the source of a lot of good info. Now, it seems like a lot of ppl come here just to spout. And, tho it can be a good thing, it's just gotten too vicious with one feeding the other. Pretty soon it's a brawl, with little or no value to it. It reminds me of what Rush says...Symoblism over substance.
As far as the rating system goes, usually you don't get something for nothing. But there are many who give tons of info, that get too few points; and there are many who don't know their arse from a hole in the ground who get tons, because ppl like the way they type. I know there are a few whom I wish I didn't give +2 to, cause they ain't worth their salt. Likewise, a couple that gave me a +2 probably wish they hadn't. Oh well... such is life on Al Gore's internet.
