I remember coming back to the foro after a while and found myself yearning for a "like" button .....so I could just click like when someone made a decent point. (does that promote laziness? just click like, no need to actually converse with people?) If some here think the Foro is diminished, with fewer posters and interesting comments, think how much more barren it would be if the occasional comment or upload merited simple "likes," and "dislikes," or "thumbs up" and "thumbs down." There would be little conversation and, in my opinion, it would be far less interesting. A forum, by definition, promotes conversation, debate, and different points of view, whether it's about flamenco or off-topic. Otherwise you might as well have a poll to register "like," "dislike," or "maybe." By the way, among others mentioned as not posting on the Foro anymore, two of the most interesting old-timers whose informative and erudite posts I miss are Kate and Giacomo (GJ Michelob). They always had something interesting to add to the conversation. Bill
