berry- I have read very far back, seeing the first posts on this board and I agree with you that it has evolved into something different than when it started. I don't speak for Monk, but I do believe after meeting him in person, and sharing some messages with him, that he is pleased with what his board has evolved into. You have a lot of newer members than yourself, that have joined this board, by way of invite and acceptance by the founders, Monk included. This board has become more of a "family" board than anything else. A word used by Monk himself. Thru the many posts that I have read, you have not accepted this evolution very well. And for that, I am truely sorry for you. But the fact remains, as long as Monk and the core members remain stedfast in growing the family, which is Monk's desire, it is what it is. I wish you luck in your trials of change. I do believe that you are a good person with a lot to offer and would hate to see you stop posting for the good of the family.
