Perhaps however that is why some feathers appear to have been ruffled.

I am much more of a lurker than a poster in AoI, but over the years have learned a lot of information there and hopefully have also been able to share some information as well with others through my admittedly infrequent posts. I have also engaged in PMs with people along the way about a variety of topics, and feel part of the community even if I am not always a regular poster there.

My question to you was because you seemed to have a definite opinion on the subject, but I didn't have the sense that you really understood the nature of that particular forum.

I value the fact that FT even has a Talkboard, and that one can give input to Talkboard. The geographic fora were recently reordered, and our feedback was solicited for that change. I truly believe that we were heard, and our feedback was considered, and changes were made. Now some are asking for additional changes, and I believe that they too are being heard, even if it may not ultimately result in the change they desire.

Your intial question was certainly valid, but I also believe that the passion demostrated by several of the forum regulars was also valid, and perhaps an attempt to support the original name for the forum and why they wish for a return to that name.
