The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

We all are very grateful to Manlobbi. What he did (and still does work on) is amazing, a huge service to all of us.

The very least we can do to show our appreciation is to respect his wish to LABEL off topic posts accordingly 'OT'. He expressively asked for that and I very much second that. That 'OT' labeling on the old boards was a nice tradition which unfortunately got more and more ignored (and already IS ignored here too).

But here we are now having 'NEW old boards' = a fresh start for all of us, enabling us to do better, regarding proper labeling of OT posts and our general behavior.

The latter I say because it's just sooo easy on the Internet where you don't look into the other's eyes to quickly judge, attack, insult people. For example I intend to be less sarcastic towards especially one poster I find annoying, simple to be nicer - or at least to be less mean. Whether I can realize that remains to be seen.
