And you can stay here, too, it's not either-or.I did not mean to suggest an *uncivil* board, or a board with dirty jokes. It's just that sometimes I'm reluctant to respond to posts in case I unintentionally offend somebody by for instance saying "us" instead of "we".

Good point. Instead of complaining, maybe I should try to be part of the solution. Or maybe I just don't fit in any more.
