I've noticed it too. However, I think discussions and complaints are also informative. [:)]

Max - as you point out, this site has been filled with mostly complaints for some time now. It's complaints and some who treat this as a chat room who it make the site seem less useful than it was before. Case in point - on another thread someone asked about Pentagon drop offs. One of the replies was "I don't know". Well if you don't know, why reply???

Luckily, there are still enough helpful people here who understand that this site is a resource.

Maybe Drivers (like myself) should write on our side windows:

Today, I feel:______, Please do/do not talk to me. If you choose to talk on the phone while I drive, I will "accidently" spill coffee on you or turn my radio up reeeaaaalllly loud. I have rights too, especially since I'm driving...if you don't like it, then too bad...wait for another car. [:D]

1. The useful thing about the complaints is maybe someone who reads this site might recognize their boorish behavior and change. They also help provide comic relief in a stressful day.

2. I've noticed the same thing about useless comments. I've noticed a couple users particularly guilty of said actions (like the comment "hmmmmm"). Maybe they're trying to run up their post count so they can get more stars by their name.

Please excuse my semi-worthless comment, but ronin, my friend, I believe you've hit the nail right on the head. I feel better that I'm not the only one who has been annoyed by this. [:)]

Hmmmmm, good point, thanks, me too, i don't know, ditto, what he/she said ...

I'm not going to confirm that one of my annoyances is "e" followed by 8 letters because I'm not certain of the gender of said individual. However, I will say that one of the major annoyances, are posts by an "a" preceded by 8 letters. (184 posts and counting since December 03.)

Yeh, I've noticed the site; however, just think, ten years ago, we wouldn't even be discussing these issues. These sites actually are a benefit for everyone. I think it gives everyone a chance to voice their own opinion. These posts could go a long ways in getting stuff done in some cases. I say "keep on griping". Thanks[8D]

I definately agree with jenna703 the only way to solve this problem would be to put a sign up!
