This is very typical of how the old "water cooler" board works. It's a great place for scatter-shot discussions, fighting, etc., but the main difference between that board and one with focus, is "agreed control" by the members. Eric actually moderates and listens to concensus opinions - without that, any board will degenerate into the blather we see at Mr. Bill's place. Aaron and Vike posted, Eric made comments about how things should go in the future. No problem.

Perhaps I'm getting some stuff off my chest, but it is incredibly refreshing to see moderated, focused discussions about a hobby I enjoy.
