I am just responding to Mike's post of several weeks ago because I haven't posted on BJ21 since the introduction of the new format. I liked the old format, with its successive indentations, which allowed people to respond to each other, much more than the new format. I also liked the ability to do detailed searches, e.g. all of my posts on the General page on Atlantic City from May 2000 to August 2007, on the old format.
Good luck, Mike and I hope that your health problems will get better. The Politics page has deteriorated significantly. It never recovered from the untimely deaths of Math Prof and Bootlegger. A lot of good posters left, e.g. Ad Hoc, BJay Cobbson, Chunker, Cyrus, Drumz1, Freightman. This list isn't complete. I didn't always agree with certain of these people, but our disagreements were always almost civil. I learned a lot from the posters of political orientation very different thatn mine.
