As always, Fengzi, you nailed it on the head. And I think the "crap factor" is at play in a big way here lately. I notice that fewer and fewer sane folks are participating on the politics board nowadays. I've seen enough of the paranoiac conspiracist madness now that when I see posts from Pissy, GS and a couple of others, I simply go past them without reading. They're always the same, and it's always complete lunacy. I don't waste my time either reading the rantings of, or debating, lunatics. I gather the same bypass approach is now being used by many others.
