I'm glad you didn't. (But I suspect we've quietly lost a number of members for exactly that reason, and it's why Tim & I agree it's time to clamp down on the threads that tend to bring out uncivility & partisan potshots.)
I have wondered if there's a prototypical "arc" of interest/excitement/abandonment for long-time forum members.
My interest waxes & wanes with how much I drive (which is almost nil lately), but always spikes again when I get a different car (eg. my parade of winter beaters).
I still clearly remember back in the day how astonished I was to see how well pulse & glide worked; it seemed so counter-intuitive to me.
