I'm pretty sure you're right and the only way people have to protest is to vote with their feet and their wallets, right? I don't see that happening much, so I guess we're stuck with the silly rules that are now in place. I like the people here. I always liked Kristi..she knows how to schmooze angry people ;). But it's the owners that are killing the place and you're right...there's not much the admin can do about it. So I go back to not participating and just watching. Apparently my "products" were not appreciated by the owners when they were here, so they won't be missed. Only maybe by the "community" the owners espouse to want to cater to. Pfft.
