Hi doc,
I see what you are saying, I too am a bit dismayed at the one-on-one style of one-offs engaged that devolve into "everyone's talking, no one is listening" type rants (at least that's how I see it).
But, I don't see why we can't try and have a cup of coffee and have a good ol' conversation. Or, would you prefer a few pints? I am listening and ready to 'talk'. I think others are too. We probably have to be more thick skinned and patient - also, not let certain externalities affect or bother too much the conversation at hand eh? And it wouldn't hurt to inject the occassional humor in it. We already have a 'powerclown' (get it, get it, clown! Hahaha!) and host has shown his funny side. Even Roachboy has made an attempt in another thread to open up and share his humor side with us.
Doc, I am gonna have to say, substance does matter, it just sometimes gets lost or overlooked underneath the temporary gloss of "media", propaganda, etc. It's up to us to either dig it out, or insist on making it relevant.
Host, I will open up another thread to address your questions.
Well, I just put on a pot of coffee. Someone bring the donuts.
