I agree with many other posters and what they have said here. I lurk, I read, and I am getting to know lots of people in a way that just presenting info wouldn't allow me to know them. I love that I know (or think I do) about the personality of so many of the regulars on TOTV. The wonderful part is also that I can read and have time to respond or hold my 'tongue' and not respond to threads that inflame me in real time. I like that because it gives me time to let my better, more rational, less reactive self take the lead. I think this forum is perfect the way it is. I would hate to see it be a chat room or news feed. Lay on McDuff, and damned be him that first cries "Hold, enough!"
