It\'s Goodbye from Me (A mad world)

BALANCE_MAINTAINED: I am truly sorry if I have been a disruptive influence here.-You have actually brought new energy and new dimensions to the forum, and I'm extremely grateful for this injection of life, so please don't blame yourself! From my point of view ... and probably from George's too ... it's the sudden explosion of posts that has caused the problem. I've been logging on to find twenty or thirty new ones, and it becomes impossible to keep track, especially since even individual threads are being split into different discussions. At least two of my own posts have probably disappeared in the flurry, and we can easily lose continuity.-I'm not sure what the solution is, but perhaps we can all try to stick to one subject per thread, and only a few threads at a time. I feel very strongly that people should be free to raise whatever subjects they like so long as they are related to theism, agnosticism, atheism (which of course includes the sciences, religion, ethics, ontology etc.), so do by all means continue to raise religious topics. If no-one is interested, they will fizzle out of their own accord anyway. But perhaps we can refrain from posts that reproduce whole paragraphs and end in a single comment like WOW! It all clutters up the system. Let's make sure that each post either offers new information or genuinely develops a particular argument. Any other suggestions, anyone? -Just to repeat, though, B_M, I really don't want to dampen your enthusiasm ... it's good for all of us!
