That's your only online option. Now, you can post it on Twitter or Facebook.

And as said above, I respect his opinion on the community because he's been around it. But let us just see what happens. It's in Terry's hands now. I go through periods of inactivity as does everyone else.Compound Calicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00059155949950433688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-45898797730639873872015-02-24T12:33:35.670-05:002015-02-24T12:33:35.670-05:00I'm torn about all of this because I love Walt...I'm torn about all of this because I love Walt but I also appreciate how hard the page is to run. It's discouraging to me, too, that more people aren't filling up the page, but as others have said, what are you going to do?<br /><br />Walt, there's nothing to do. Contribute or not. Read or not.

And I don't argue with some of your points. But this page is going to be what it is going to be. It will grow or die dependent on the interest of its readers and writers. It won't ever be what it was. Nothing is.
