No I don't miss that "other" forum one darn bit. Part of the reason I left is that people only wanted to hear themselves talk and no one wanted to listen. Another part because people personally attacked other people because they disagreed with the party line. A further part left because it had become "Cebu Wives" and anywhere else in the PI may as well have been in China (not knocking those fine ladies from Cebu - they are wonderful - but their hubbies on the forum were quite myopic).

I do like this forum so much better. Unfortunately with juggling a job and a young family I am not able to post as much as I would like. But I still do browse a lot and pick up a lot of what is going on. Actually I recently picked something up from Lee - with the provisional file in HK - which I passed along to Jayne's OCW cousin who is engaged and will undergo the same process soon. By giving her that slice of info she relayed that to her mahal and who knows - they could save months on their waiting time (maraming salamat, Lee!).

My long winded point (habit - I'm a lecturer) is that there are many others who are not members that surf through here and are able to pick up valuable slivers of info - moreso here than they could at the other place where it is one conglomeration of narcissistic boasting that one is lost before they start. So, despite the low membership and the slowness of discourse, there are still those that benefit from the pace and format of this forum. I would take it anyday over the alternative.
