What I find more annoying than the bantering are the lame attempts at humor and when threads become personal conversations way off topic. There are some people who think they are pretty self-important, but I generally ignore their posts. Overall this is an outstanding resource.

I liken it to a corner saloon where you have all types of patrons whose banter is fueled by drink, in our case anonymity, who freely express their views. I appreciate the diversity both in the personalities and the levels of officials here.

I've also noticed more civility towards new officials over the year, where in the past some were intimidating with their responses to the newbies.
I do miss Jurassic, who was always the voice of common sense to me and had alot to offer officials on any level.
