Yes the same tedious pattern Steve. It was notable on the 'Current State....' thread that discussion was more flowing and constructive during Jim's absences - even though I welcomed some of his contributions. There were disagreements and a few arguments but things soon got back on track.

Joe advised me he closed that thread down during the Christmas shut down. I didn't argue even though I felt there was still some mileage in it. In my view mods have the right to moderate as they see fit. If I was unhappy with the moderation of a site I would simply stop contributing and not complain to the world and his dog about it. That strikes me as egotistic
