And thank you to all the staff and contributors at TOD. Might I also add that since the very necessary 'changes' brought in a week or so ago the level of challenging and meaningful discussion has returned to what it was some months ago. Action was needed and I am very glad it was taken. I look forward to TOD remaining my first port of call for all info relating to PO and many other energy related matters.

Agree. The much needed last minute intervention has restored TOD to health.

It is a difficult enterprise that recently was made even more difficult by a notable deterioration in the level of discourse at this site. This was something we had to confront--and confronting it was not something we enjoyed, but we determined our actions to be necessary for the integrity and future of the site.

I think this is mealy mouthed and unworthy of a site and a group of people who normally deal with unpleasant facts straight on.

You banned Hothgor, dmathew1, and Freddy Hutter because they were clogging up the comments with rubbish. A good move, and I congratulated you on the decision earlier. So why not just come out and announce it rather than dancing around the subject with a bunch of candyass prose? If I wanted obfuscation I'd read the mainstream press.

Love you guys, but couldn't let this pass.

thank you for comment. as the mealy-mouthed candyass who wrote it, I will express my appreciation of your attempted compliment and move on.
