Still, something is different this year--and I don't know what it is. When I first came on PB last summer, I was amazed at the level of knowledge here, truly amazed. In late September, I dropped off the board, and when I came back, in January, feeling so much better and wanting to return the favor. .. it really did and still does seem that the level of the dialogue dropped. Now it *is* a steady stream of WOE posts, with a few places one can be of use, in between.
You're not going to be able to pin this on 2000! It's just not the case. Someone here longer than I might know, is this a cycle, is PB more popular, are newbies less well-informed about doing their own searches? I suspect there is a certain web-entropy going on, an unavoidable list phenomenon. Things change---often, it seems to those who like them the way they are, for the worse.
And sometimes, if you practice a certain kind of letting go, things do readjust themselves, things work out.
