There are other travel forums

AOL has one.

Are there as many nasty posters?

are there as many stuffies?

I don't know about those mentioned here specifically, but have tried several other travel forums, and NONE of them are in an easy-to-use format like this one (yesterday's testing/upgrading fiasco notwithstanding.....)

The google forum used to be deja.com. You had to register to use the forum. It required a legit e-mail address which was verified when you signed up. This discouraged nasty posts. I don't know if this is still the case now that google took over the site. I do check it out on occasion but rarely use it - there is a delay of a post appearing for three to nine hours.

Fodors is one of the easiest forum I've ever used (alot of the newer ones are just as good) - there's lots of activity and there's no signup procedure. Most other forums are relatively easy to figure out but it's the registration that bugs me.<BR><BR>What Google has that Fodors doesn't is rec.travel.usa-canada articles dating back to 1995. There are other travel groups as well.<BR><BR>I personally like reading a wide variety of opinions by surfing a variety of forums.

What's a stuffie?

yeah-what is a stuffie?

I'll take a stab at what a stuffie is, A stuffed shirt perhaps? A stiff, a whining, nagging Pain in the a** who can't take a little ribbing? Just a guess of course!
