It really does feel a bit like the early days, for me. Bunch of strangers talking to each other in, generally, good faith. 'Course there were also tons of pop-ups, the banner would've taken an hour to download at that resolution... I like this more. lol
I've just created a community, to that end, that I'm hoping to start fleshing out when I get home tonight - finding and linking to like-minded communities is a really good idea for that. Thank you for that idea!
