Leon I am the same! I see social media as a pox on society run with little social governance balance mostly at the whim of whoever owns it and is at the helm! Just look at “X” or what ever it’s called nowdays. Full of :disaffected; conspiracists, far right, far left, and foreign national influence (who are not there for fun) as d snake oil sales. Some media is nothing but 15 second attention grabbers that frankly makes me run….if I could.

I abhor such things and same as Leon love the atmosphere here while allows views right or wrong but mainly built on those helping each other. No better ethos base could be found; made or moulded.

So yeah I cannot shift to social media and enjoy the current format too much. Just like whirlpool form …some small tinkering but changing what is not broken will see it’s Denise

I understand this has exacted a great toll on iceman and it’s drained him of his essence he’s given all and reward has been little …advertisers and funding desertion must leave him feeling “what must I do”…but this is just part of the issue you can only squeeze an orange once for its goodness. So I hope iceman and those that be can find a way

I am happy to donate or pay per year this forum has been good to me and I do not want to see it go ….but can do little to help except offer dollars and “giddy-on-up” words

Cheers

Brendan
