Neo has kind of turned FFL into a forum for people who can spend a lot of time on it and keep track of who said what. I think it's a big loss, losing the people who used to contribute less frequently but adding just the spice that was needed, just the unique perspective that kept FFL lively and more universal. As they say in Sho-gun: karma, neh?

I have been following the feedback on the Yahoo Groups comment site. Yahoo gives lip service to this notion of we value your input. It is evident that it is only lip service. There is one lady in particular, Owl who is leading the charge to get Yahoo to return to the familiar format. It doesn't seem to be working out.
