Michael, I think that Mickey has provided you with a straightforward and well thought out answer. But I'll tack on with my own two cents anyway (never a good sign).
Fortunately I have an active life outside of this place. If this forum burns out it saves me a lot of time and money. In addition to trying to keep up with this place, I have a regular day job and a family, both of which take priority over this forum. Don't get me wrong, for the most part I find running the forum enjoyable, and I certainly like participating here just as many others do, but there are times where packing it in doesn't sound so bad.
That is not to say that I do not listen to member input, because I do and I believe that I've proven this time and again. But in this case, we're butting heads over a matter that is only going to result in headaches. Like I've said before, anyone that doesn't like the style here — or doesn't approve of the way this place is administrated and moderated, is free to find another forum or start one of their own. I'm proof that most anyone can do it. I'll echo Mickey's comment that we're human and while we make mistakes, we do the best we can. If this place isn't providing some of you with enough social interaction, then I'm sorry but you're just going to have to look elsewhere.
Bill
