Many good points here.
Nothing will ever be as it was yesterday.
Coke is no longer a dime a bottle, haircuts are not a quarter, and Buddy Holly or Elvis, or even the Eagles do not top the charts or the radio playlists. Times move on. People come, people go. From here, from sporting clubs, from social groups. For all kinds of personal reasons.
Looking inward and looking back is not positive. Today and tomorrow are what really count in the real world. If the useage of FT has grown 1000% from the "old days" it might irk some, and delight others, as there is 10 times more info and users to learn from .... or ignore as they see fit. As Doc says, it is Randy's board, and how he'd like to see it run is the last word.
