    Guilty of the same. Whole discussions/topics are often lost due to presentation.

    Hell, I rarely post here these days. I read, sometimes I reply, once in a blue moon I'll start a thread... usually non-political. But I'm not going jump ship.

    My hope is things will change when the Trump era ends. I have, on occasion, felt that the strong support for the President here on a less populated board is less friendly to a moderate, such as myself, who is inclined to criticize him from time to time. To be honest, I'm okay with that. I don't think any less of any member because of their views. I'd still bend an elbow with any one of you. But after a couple of unexpectedly hostile responses from a couple of folks, I decided to scale back. I was utterly surprised.

    I hold no grudge, my feelings are not hurt, I am just biding my time... you won't get rid of me that easily...

    It's all good...


    ICSI, why not just take a break, a little vacation? There's no need to take the drastic step of abandoning ship permanently...

    Well, we have all branches of the military represented here with AT, true? But we'll lose our Navy rep if he splits. We can't have that.
