I'll understand if none wishes to relive the experience, but I understand that there was once a fracas--might have been several years ago--in which WS dissidents constituting a splinter group formed another site such as this one

So forgive if I am curious--when it happened--who was involved--what were the issues etc etc; subsequently what evidences of friction might have persisted--for instance did any subsequently join both, if so how were they greeted, did they prolong any of the concerns, etc etc

Not wanting to relive about sums it up.

People move on: maybe lack of interest.

Still, without dredging up old memories, naming participants, or specifying the breakaway board I am intensely curious about what sorts of issues culminate such a misadventure and so if you don't wish to post a reply I would be most happy to hear from you, being dalehileman@me.com

Note to Admin: No need to disguise my add., but thank you anyhow for your kind concern

Dear Dale. How about a song to remember old friends in shades of days gone by.
