Some of us may be talking apples when others are talking oranges. That is, the "solution" may solve a problem which you didn't know existed, or which you didn't agree was a problem.
That's to say, if Randy decides to leave OMNI closed, would you be okay with that "solution"? I guess I would - I mean, it's his board, and there are other, more lively boards I frequent, but I would indeed be disappointed because I've posted here more than other IBB's and for a longer period of time and I've invested more of my energy/time to discussing topics here, but oh well.
Maybe that's the right thing to do? I'm not sure.
doc can do whatever he wants within the rules of the TOS, and I believe he has been. I can, too. Anyone can. You don't have to like it. The only way in which I can see a problem is you could argue that many of his posts belong more properly in the "In the News" forum, not OMNI. But I wouldn't personally argue anything, because it's never bothered me.
I guess we'll all just have to wait and see what kind of effective solution they come up with!
