Thank you for the response, David. I finally used the term "rude" after asking 6 or 7 times and getting no response. This was also after many people were making WAG's about what was going to happen to this format. You could have jumped in at any time and corrected all of the rumors that were flying around. That's the only reason I used the "r" word.

Again, thank you for finally responding and best of luck in the future. And if I am reading your comments correctly, you will only sell the discussion board *if* you sell it along with the publishing business. So, no publication buyer, no discussion board. Of course, you have every right to handle this however you personally choose to do so. But also keep in mind that selling "blog" sites or websites where people post comments (not just in railfanning) is far from uncommon. It's called capitalism, and that's how you make a buck. But allow me to again say that I respect whatever your decision is, even though I happen to disagree with it.
