The last 2 individual "complaints" seemed to be referring to an "ugliness" that, taken on surface, was just that..."on surface". It must have been a "history lesson" for them since I see nothing of the sort as of late.
---------------------------------------
Unfortunately, musick, the issue is not merely historical: it remains current. As an example I verbatim (but without attribution) a PM I received five days ago:

I truly believe you need to take as much time as you do posting to read through the old posts, out of respect for those that enjoy this place as a discussion board, not a chatb room (that would indeed include myself).

I darn near walked away from this board upon receiving that PM -- and in my judgment, most relatively-new users would have walked.

But here is the challenge: the easy courses are either to deny this, or to bemoan it -- but neither does the least bit of good. What are we going to do about it?
