I'm a pure B.S.'r in favor of the split page design. I stumbled in the back door through google only a few weeks ago, and posted to a music thread, not even knowing about the rest of the forum. The people and responses were wonderful. Then the WTC attack happened, just as I discovered the BS political threads, and I certainly enjoyed hearing a lot of thoughtful comments in those confusing days. But even before Joe Offer mentioned it immediately above, I realized my posting days are numbered, since this is best viewed as a musicians' site. I see from searching the word "clique," that you people have been hashing out the same old arguments about cliques and non-music and trolls forever, though. The pity is, I will, on such short duration, already miss the thoughtful musings of many such as CarolC, Jeri, Amos, troll and the like. (Actually I'll probably stick around and learn a few things, but posting, oh, well.)

(For those of you feeling jittery about stadium gatherings and the like: I'll be setting here on Coronado Island, which isn't an island at all, - - just a sand bar surrounded by earthquake faults, nuclear carriers, two airports and a smattering of wayward terrorists. Wish us all luck. (And thanks.)
