While the newer members on the "other list" certainly have contributed to it's current state, I think the change started when Norm sold the forum. It went from a privately run list, like COTEP, to the commercial forum it is today. All the original member/sponsors left and suddenly it has become a free-for-all! Instead of the warm, family feel it once had it has become nothing more than a source of revenue for the owner. Many of the original members have left in disgust. The moderators try their very best, but, sadly it will never go back to what it once was... Truly a shame
