Bill - Great Post. I read about 10% of the posts on the board now. It's getting to be that I don't come back here any more.

I traded many emails with Matt and other owners suggesting that they put in a feature similar to the RB board where member marks turn a poster's name into bold in the message listings. That way you can scan the listings to see just the people who make credible points. Ignoring all the yahoos on this board is just a waste of time.

No was his answer. He runs a business. He doesn't care about the community. No he didn't want to make it simpler for people to weed out the chaff.

It's typical. He probably see the number of posters coming to this board raising the noise level and spiking his traffice while at the same time he doesn't see the quality of post going down, long term lurkers (like myself), or credible posters getting tired of all the crap.

This board will move to venue. I don't doubt it.

Matt's gotten his traffic, but pretty soon, the traffic from this board goes away.

I agree with you 100%. You need to create an environment where inteligence and thought pay off. Where the good posts don't get lost in the noise.

Thanks for your great post.

Jeff
