perhaps many people got tired of dull, boring, irrelevant posts squabbling over 

peripheral topics, followed by the " i know what you said, but that is not what you meant ",

and then the inevitable clash of ego's - some bigger than others - all self righteously 

claiming to have superior knowledge,  the high moral ground,and that hoary old 

last resort of " i have been here longer than you have".

each to their own, but it appears that many people were less than impressed,

frankly, im grateful some of the consistently balanced posters continue to post

and keep this forum relevant and alive despite the agony aunties.

looking forward to another year of the highs and the lows that come with

holding FAR, you just never know what's around the corner !

best of luck to all, and shoot the messenger.
