I see your point.....
...and there's really nothing there I disagree with.
I am guilty of all you said to one degree or another, at least ONCE.
And I know several others who wing it that way.
If I join you on Flame, then I have to curtail my passion and my voice, and I'll do neither.
For me to succeed with your plan, I'd have to stay completely off Current Events and not even open it for a month. Seeing as I'm addicted, I'm not sure if that's possible.
But you're illustrating your point, and you've done really well here.
