I'm bumping up against ten years as a posting member and what kept me, and I imagine most of the other veterans, coming back was the sense of community (and communal ball-breaking) we found here. I still log on every morning to click New Posts. That sense of community has eroded over time, as evidenced by the ever-shrinking number of new posts I see every day. In fact, often MM was responsible for the majority of the new posts on any given day. I don't know if MM"s ouster was just the functional equivalent of a bone headed "New Coke" shake up or something deeper, but it sucks. I've come to know her IRL in the last few years - she doesn't deserve to be shit on like this.
