Heck, look what's happened to photography in the past 10 years.
I've been on the board about 6 years. Not an old-timer, but I've gained a lot on this forum and hope I've contributed nearly as much.
As you mentioned, there's less info on the "where", but that's out of necessity.
With the board's new "look" and monitoring, there's a more civil feel here, although there has been a bit of a relapse lately.
The board isn't finished growing or morphing. It's got a hell of a lot of potential. Be patient, Grasshopper.
Ed is right.
Hey, look how Shawn helped me out, and that valuable info will make my upcoming trip a bit better...I hope.
God save the Queen! (Thanks for that one, Ed

)
