Still here, although it's hard to find serious conversations about aviation.

I've gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed in the moderators over there.
I know one of them personally, and one of the others tangentially, and
I never expected them to act the way they did. Cutting off an on-
ongoing thread (for no apparent reason) is no better than having no
moderator at all.

That's the problem with all moderated forums. Good moderators are very, very
rare, and a bad moderator is orders of magnitude worse than no moderator at
all.
