Or was it deemed more trouble than it'd be worth?
Me, I can see both sides on this issue!

Shall we debate the benefits of banjo plucking over guitar strumming?
Pretty much what I suspected...and, yes, it did get ugly from time to time, so I can certainly understand Josh's reasoning.Jacqui said:More trouble was why Josh closed it down. Folks just got to hot and heated.
Yvonne G said:Yes, I agree...also, I wish I had a smart phone so I could see the troubles those members have when accessing the Forum though their phones. Personally, I would be lost without my keyboard. I type about 65wpm on a keyboard. If I had to hunt and peck to find letters on a screen it would drive me crazy! I probably wouldn't even come on the Forum if you took my keyboard away.

Oh Yvonne, you haven't seen the wonders of swype! Granted it takes some time for the phone to recognize how you glide your fingers but it has forever changed how one "types" on a touch screen phone.

Just got a Smart Phone a few months ago, and it turns out that they're not as hard to use as I feared...just gotta be sure Autocorrect is not going to embarrass you (Mine is my kid's former phone, and once I dashed off a text message to my uncle, ending with "Keep on trucking, Old Dude"...that wasn't exactly the message he recieved! Turns out words that get used by foul-mouthed teenagers a lot eventually become the first choice).
Now I look VERY closely before hitting "send"!
Someday I hope he quits laughing at me...
