I like the changes! pacalo Jul 2014 #9

I don't like that at all--that's a negative to me. MADem Jul 2014 #11

I think things will get better once we find ourselves in general election season. MADem Jul 2014 #23

I agree, MADem. The rules are, in some cases, complicated. JDPriestly Jul 2014 #18

Was that intentional (i.e.. differentiating thread from OP)? I'm wondering if we are over-reading. hlthe2b Jul 2014 #14

Ahh, ok. Thanks, pacalo hlthe2b Jul 2014 #27

So you think that "damning with faint praise," as Alexander Pope ... JEFF9K Jul 2014 #28

No, I'm not saying it's "OK." MADem Jul 2014 #29
