@dadpad,
Are you joking with us? We think you are great!
I noticed that after the big increase in A2K membership, there are many more threads. To me, A2K has become much more impersonal. Individual threads become lost much more quickly under an avalanche of new threads.
I do not know if my analysis makes any sense, but this is why I feel A2K has lost the close and personal atmosphere that it once had.
