The above the lines definitely don't outweigh the below the lines. People would rather talk about Bush, and breasts.
Yet, if a select few post threads for audio or CDs, people jump all over it, and are ready with pats on the back.

As far as bringing back threads, I've done that, and was yelled at.
Besides I always hated when people just read things and didn't post responses. Of course, if I keep bumping and re-posting people accuse me of "Shameless Self-promotion".
