I do understand, sir. I've been surfing the wild and woolly waters of the freelance world again, and it sucks up a substantial amount of time.
No, we're not moving anywhere. I just wanted everyone to be aware of how widespread the issues are. As time permits, I may experiment with other platforms for conversation, but not any time soon. I suppose Gravity may have diluted use somewhat, but I don't really think so. There's a healthy group there that benefits from the Gravity audience at large, and previously unexplored conversations and users. I'd rather our style of debating become prevalent across multiple sites, if possible, meaning the quality of the conversation that occurs. Once I hit some breathing room for personal projects, Fran, I'll be sure to let you know about the next idea.
