Like most subscribers, I expect the function of TER to be to provide critical and valuable information about providers and the business.  This message board has disintegrated into a bitch-fest about nonsensical topics which are dominated by people completely self-absorbed with petty gripes.  

Some if not most of the TER users could care less about using two names to post messages, or who is the moderator.

It is sad that you see fewer and fewer responses with answers or information for those posts requesting help.  Instead, the vast majority of posts are about those issues that clearly interest only those people who are spending way too much of their time on this site.

Maybe that is the nature of these boards, I don't know.  All i know is that this message board is generally a waste of time.  It is like being in a restaurant and having to listen to the people at the next table argue about what color to paint the 2nd bathroom.  WHo the hell cares?
