I'm glad that there seems to be a small consensus that things aren't right here. About Another-Rican, he may have been obnoxious, nasty and folkoric but most would agree that next to Faraon he was sane, and that's pushing it. LOL Faraon seems to need heavy duty shrink attention + medications + a straight jacket. LOL

POV appears to be busy with other things. Stanley seems to have taken a long vacation to the other side of the planet. MMMMMMMM Could he be in Tibet or Outer Mongolia? Yukije must have been scared away by Faraon, who has finally taken over the Politics section all to himself. Slap got intimidated with English, but he'll return full blast one of these days when his Berlitz English language class starts to kick in.

About Chatting + microphone, sounds high tech but in my case I can't be tied down to long phone conversations. I write, walk away for hours or days and then return. If the day is rainy I stay longer on the puter. The Chat format won't work for me. I hate phone conversations, I don't even use my cell phone. LOL

Bottom-line we need new blood here, from where ever it comes, left, center or right. I put as an example Cafe-Boricua. It has hundreds of hits per minute. Why? I don't know. Maybe they are high tech, we're low. They make use of a lot of visuals via YOU TUBE, we don't.

It still boils down to, "How can we get more folks in here?"

Any ideas?
