Bob I find this insulting. This little corner of the internet has become a public space - yes it's owned & operated by a non-public entity but it's the people who come here, make it attractive & raise its value. Kinda like the "public space" you might find in front of a privately held skyscraper. There is a symbiotic relationship at work here. The owners provide the public square for people to enjoy. The good folks who post here provide free content for the owners. Obviously you have the power to walk your beat and shush those who might be having too much fun in the public square. But sooner or later folks are going to start wandering off and have their fun elsewhere.
