I really do not put much credence in what the USA say's.
Basket case itself.
But you cannot call it anything else. And thankfully bloodless as you point out.
I notice our threads are now full of seemingly brand new posters, with little or near enough to zero in the way of contributions to our threads or HC in general.
Its weird, most "newbie" announce themselves as that, but our new contributors seem well versed in way of commenting on all things.
Good old fashioned disaster to bring out the never to rarely posters.
