Ok.

Now it's time for the voice of reason to chime in.

I read the first dozen posts, then skipped to the end.

Here's my advice: ENOUGH ALREADY. All of you for 'having fun' continuing to fuel the fire.
I think it's time to let it drop.

I've already had the pleasure of meeting about 10 talkers since September. All nice.
And I know that if everyone here who has posted were to meet tomorrow, we'd have a great time. But I also know, that the following day, people would be fighting again.
I used to (underline USED to), spend time on AOL's Brooklyn boards. That was before they broke up. And you know why they broke up? That's right. They went through the same thing we're going through here.
You know folks, one day you're going to show up to these boards and No one will be here!

Consider this friendly advice from dhammer53. I like these boards and want to see them remain.

So let's consider this thread dead at midnight Pacific time.

Happy Holidays,
Dan <<< always use my real name.
