This used to be a fun forum with the best travel information around.
What is going on ? Why Fodors is boring ? Is this a Bush request ?

It's YOU.

I second that.

You're right Frank, it is boring. Zzzzz...

It is NOT you, Frank. This forum was indeed the best travel info around contributed by knowledageable travelers who took the time to share the information, good and bad, they gained from both business and personal travel. It hasn't been the same for almost two years, and the loss of those contributors is the reason. And the biggest reason, I'm willing to bet, that they no longer contribute is the lack of courtesy by some of the current group of posters. I continue to check in on occasion--in the hope that I will again see a posting from Donna, Neal, Al Clem, Joan, and a host of others.

My pal< Forest says, "Boring is as boring does." If you live here it may well be boring; however, for the occasional visitor it can be very interesting and useful. Ignoring the thugs won't make them go away, but they really don't interfer all that much in finding what a person comes here to find.
