I think I recognized only one or two names there. But did TURF morph over the years. It looks like during the time you were a mod, Frans, it was a serious forum. Was there any levity, or did you just cull the more erudite musings?
And it looks like the old TURF had some of the same start up problems with hackers that we did here back in the old days (9 months ago ).

Agree Hans...
I used to read JFK's spirited defence of Tudors. There's also a good one on buying on auction which is still apropos.

So, uh, Frans, why did you leave? Feel free to avoid this question if you see fit.

Seems that place has gone through a few mutations. Sad to see something start out with such promise and then slowly implode. But ya reap what ya sew, eh?
