I agree all, it is better than it was, which is probably why I did not type out first in word and then copy and paste.
@hgeifman - there is nothing much to show. I finished the post, clicked "Post Your Response" and it immediately went to a log-in page. I was for sure logged in when I started typing because just a minute or so before I tried to post, I had refreshed my "Activity Feed for Mitch2" page.
Things clearly are not what they used to be but I also get that Audiogon needs the income from the ads, and that there is a much higher level of security necessary to operate a site like this than previously.
