What else? Not going to Reddit. I've been on City Data but they have 50 state's forums and 50 subject forums, but nothing general news. And if you started typing p-o-l-i.... someone would probably be monitoring you.
I used to go to 3 welding forums but frankly welders are a whole 'nother facet of the population. Machinists all talk like engineers and we all know how narrow minded and obscure they can be. Like talking to an astronomer about the latest men's fashions. Not going to fine "most beautiful women" there. If you went to that topic on the 914 forum you might as well open up some old Hustler mags.
I have an old Jeep and the Jeep forums are full of scum. Must be dirt on the brain.
The most polite, mature and gentlemanly forum I go to is old radios. As you would imagine, it's rather small and, but therefore not often attacked by bots. The site developer and maintenance person is online 20 hours a day. Not too broad an interest although I consider it only 2nd to here.
Yeah, I like this place but I think I'm going to delete my bookmark as I have done with all of the mentioned above. Frustration in my life is over the top and I'm shedding all sources. Can't shed the main cause.

Add me to those who hope you don't leave, Milt. Let's face it, a very broad section of knowledge and experience hangs out here. During those times it goes haywire, I just wait for things to get straightened out...as they seem to be right now.
