No one is saying you can't bitch and moan about thewooman's avatar, if that's what floats your boat. If we were, then that thread would have been closed. It isn't. So, what exactly are you complaining about?

Incidentally, I see only one locked or deleted thread on the first page of the Lounge, so your definition of "highly curtailed" must be vastly different than mine. You just notice things more because I prefer to close threads instead of deleting them, so you all can see what's going on for yourselves. You can't see threads that are deleted, and most people never even notice they are gone. That's the only difference around here. The level of administrative activity hasn't changed much, if at all.

Have some cheese?
