First, a tip: If you want paragraph breaks in your posts, type them in Word and cut and paste them into the Reply field.

Now, a worthy goal: Move your discussion of organization building to a general hairloss discussion forum. No one there can complain it is off topic, since any topic dealing with hairloss is acceptable (unlike forums that are set up for *specific* subcategories of the hairloss issue. Hint, hint). :^)

Seriously, Bill, this is not the first time people have tried to eat up space here with their own agendas. I'll say to you the same thing I said to them: "Start your own thread elsewhere. If people are interested, they'll go there." I suspect that you have your doubts about how well your group would do without the benefit of a long-running, successful forum like this one to attract attention. Your claim that the majority here are in favor of your group abusing this forum (my word, not yours) is unconvincing. All I see on your side are a handful of relatively new guys who, unhappy with the forum they have discovered, have interpreted their disdain as a license to remake it as they see fit. More than one of the "old hands" that have posted here for a while and been responsible for the educational and thoughtful discussions that have taken place here from time to time in the past have e-mailed me, disagreeing with your misuse of the forum. Also, let me be honest with you: your posts have changed for the worst since you've taken on this organization thing. Your post to Gho was more reminiscent of Maneless that the constantly laughing Bill I have seen over the last year or more (time flies!).

Whatever you decide to do with the organization, I hope you will at least be kind enough to those of us that *enjoy* this forum to take the organization talk to a more appropriate forum (no pun intended).
