Hi Tom
What would I have done differently? I wouldn't be composing emails
complaining! ;-). The close issue is really not the issue - I don't like it
but I can live with it. The main issue is I want to feel that I'm part of a
community- unannounced changes make me feel that I'm just another user
Hi Brian,
The website changes have been announced on the talk mailing list

Name one. I can probably name more that don't. Facebook for example
