You still, 'started yesterday'.

All news agency's have "dry periods" where there is no new news. thus "spin" was invented.

I think TPU is comming along just fine.

Lots of members here "actively contribute", without the "investigation and management"...because they are not assigned investigators and managers by the administrator.

I never siad "take a hike" I said "read the news elsewhere".

Yes this entire arguement - "pathetic".

No offense , but I don't see any issues important enough to start all this over. It's not that big a deal. Every site has it's share of SPIN, SPAM, Fanboyism, ETC. We live in a reader beware world and you have to take it as that. People are people and TPU is full of people, just like the rest of the World Wide Web.
