Yea! Wow, 4% of those posts are MB! #1 in posting with 1572.
I took a look back at the postings a year ago... pretty funny.
I think the new forum system makes it so much easier to catch up reading posts. On the old system I had something like 7 posts and visited once a week at most. The new system drives a lot more interaction = sense of community.
GEEK ALERT: Now, about search... changing to a more Google Query Language-like interface (insert logical AND between terms, use recency to rank returns, followed by subject line hits, and then by partial search term matches) that would make trolling the archives a bit more predictable. But, it works OK today, as long as you know exactly what you are looking for and who said it. The Google search boxes at the top right of the page generally work a bit better than the forum search, but seems to miss some posts.
Cheers, RickG
