As with many other posts I thought of writing Or wrote a long post, thought about it, then deleted it because this is a public forum. People, I have a certain view of where our hobby is headed in terms of availability of tobacco products etc and I do not think it is good. For that reason I think go private. Then I think - what is truly private? On a forum on the inter webs. Is it ever private. So maybe keep it public and stuff them all. A private forum is only a subpoena away from being public anyway. But as many a judge here has said - never type something unless you can handle speaking to it in court one day. Mind you I think that principle summarises what the moderators already do here - so I guess I have been ambivalent in my ramblings. Fundamentally I do think a private forum would be more conducive to open discussion - if only from me - but I may be a complete bore !
