    Subtle geographic responsibility escapism?
    Probably.

    How'd you begin in here, though?

    What, they don't allow you personally. Or a particular section of society, to which you belong. The mentals perhaps.

    @ J2k4....ah yes indeed. I too remember the clamour for a discrete place to discuss more 'serious' topics around the start of the Iraq war.

    'World News and Events' was eventually born (after much campaigning) and became 'The Drawing Room' shortly after the move to VB. That bloody Iraq thingy is responsible for bringing us all together in this place....many an evening spent in my apartment in Boston, bored shitless.....and then...I found KLite board and met you lot.

    I would never have guessed that so many of us would be still here after all this time.

    My contributions tend to be few but I like to think they are quality.

    I think, initially, I posted in here (and SoftwareWorld) more than other places.

    I then found the gene pool to be rather shallow and decided that the primordial soup that is the lounge offers much more to the colloquium aficionado than the rigidity of opinion proffered here.

    Just a personal opinion, mind you - and I certainly do not preclude myself from posting in this section when the topic of conversation is more ... avant-garde.

    Some of we do read and try to appreciate t'opinions of others. Tho' I have to agree, the default seems to be not to bother.

    Personally I have no problem with differing opinions, provided the person actually has the manners to read before disagreeing.

    Indeed, you are one of our anchors, Sara, responsible for our grounding.
