Re: Bye Bye Balrogs

I don't venture down here enough; certainly not as much as I used to. I think that this debate would benefit from a bit of parsing, i.e. address one issue at a time. I'm not weighing in on the merits, but rather advocating some civility. Few enough wander into this forum and new faces should be greeted somewhat gently, considering that much work has been done and newcomers may not be familiar with how things are hashed out.

Things seem to have quieted down a bit, nonetheless lets try to make the debate friendlier, shall we? As the only member of "management" with a strong fondness for this forum (others are interested, just so I'm not misunderstood), it seems that newcomers are to be welcomed and perhaps educated a bit before tearing their arguments to ribbons.

As I said to someone in another messageboard, Bob do I know you?
