I didn't mean this thread in particular. I was responding to
On a related matter (nothing to do with you, Wally Bird), am I the only one who believes that thanks to a growing handful of people, this forum is getting nuttier by the minute?
I have seen over the past 15 months or so the participation change on this forum as well as some very different shifts in the general tone and content. Many of us do have a unified concern about screening, but that message runs the risk of being overshadowed by hyperbole or name calling.
We have also lost the active participation of several TSOs over the past year (and I know that there were others before then). While I may not always agree with the content and the style of how some of them post, their 'insider information' has been helpful to many of us.
I used to think that that the TS&S forum was populated by tinfoil hat wearing posters. Then I spent some time doing research and found factual information here or links to that information. But if I had started reading in January 2011 instead of in January 2010 I may not have felt the same way.
Again, I am just concerned that the important message may be lost in the noise on this forum, and that would be a shame.
