It's a matter of value.

Effort versus return. The longer one spends making a post, or in TBs case researching and backing up assertions, one enjoys seeing a percentage of return.

When the responses in return are "lalalala I don't hear you lalala la la da duh duh da" one realizes that the time spent is often better spent with those whom one can achieve objective gains.

Sure there are a handful of lurkers and another handful of zoners who DO benefit from the more thought provoking postings, but in the latest environment there is a palpable and measurable decline in civility and reason.

I apologize if I have not carried much of a banner in TBs absence, it's just unlike Charlie Brown, I learned the lesson about kicking footballs for Lucy Van Pelt.

This board has a lot of Lucys.
