You won't get any answers. You won't get any changes. You won't inspire new policies. Oh, I know that. Sometimes I just enjoy being a sarcastic pain in the neck. I regerd it as a form of entertainment to watch the antics that go on here. A while back someone asked in this forum why people come here, what they get from it. My answer was (and still is), "I enjoy a soap opera." And so I do. I don't actually CARE that much, really. I stopped caring a while back. I'm to the "Yeah, okay, whatever," point. Eventually, this site WILL lose the momentum its had, I do believe that. Not sure how long it'll take, but I believe it WILL happen. I'm kind of interested in watching it all unfold. Cynical? You bet I am. And, to be honest, I've seen it all before in many other kinds of communities, online and off. It's interesting to me, in an anthropological way, to watch the signs and see it happening here... ;-) bonni
