Well I will give you a few reasons why.
All is fine if your one of the hand full of regulars here but if your an outsider this site is like walking into a loud honkytonk bar, all is Grande if your a regular but it isn't a great place for a stranger to ask for directions.
Believe it or not there are people who come here due to the topics at hand, I am one. The host has graciously provided many forums here where just about anything can be talked about. I just did a quick look and about half the topics on page one here are on the wrong place and most of the ones where the original post was in the right place go off on so many tangents that they cannot be followed unless one has half a day to spend looking at a screen. There are some people who dont have that time, or the desire to do so,,,,apparently a lot of them when one looks at the statistics here.
As it is this forum works well enough for the handful of regulars who appearantly spend hours here every day and maybe a few who just like confusion. But it is a far piece from ideal for anyone else and thats the bottom line as far as I am concerned .
I have been around here a while but am here less and less because I don't need this place to have companionship , nor do I need a place to spout about my daily life. Nor do I have the desire to spend half my day on here sorting through every topic and every post to see if there are questions I can help with.
Why have all the forums, just put everything in one catch all forum and be done with it,,,,
Well, you asked,,,,
Bob, glad to read you are OK
