Brilliant observations as always my friend. I must say you do have a knack for understanding AND conveying "humanness". I sincerely value both your honesty and ability to express what the rest of us are thinking!
It is frustrating enough for me to see this happen because I so wholly love this place. I know it must be incredibly hard for you with the missus. I cant get over their decision to abandon something that I think is so cool. For me I would rather have cents than likes! Upvoted :)
