The good stuff is still here. It's just that as the number of people posting has grown, there is more of the not so good more often. There has always been some of that in varying degrees. New people come in, some rub people the wrong way. Some adapt to the more congenial atmosphere, some don't. Some get bored and leave, others hang around and ruffle feathers. The biggest difference I see is that there are more threads that I ignore altogether because I know they are heading for trouble. But then, there are so many threads nowadays that there is no time to participate in all of them anyway. I guess we have outgrown some of what was great about 50+, but it is still one of my favorite stops on the interwebs.
