• Hey folks, what’s up? Hope you’re enjoying the new forums, it seems that things are going wild with well over 200 members and 400 posts in less than a day. Not too shabby. We’ll be working out the bugs as time goes on (those posting errors and stuff have been noted and aren’t your fault). Time will tell if the forums are needed and helpful, and we’ll tweak them as we go. With web boards at View Askew AND the Talkbacks here, if they become repetitive or just underused, we’ll modify them to suit things better. They are by no means a replacement for what’s already running at View Askew or the Talkbacks here, but just another spot to go and chat or dig up the latest information. Plus, unlike the talkbacks, they don’t bury themselves in a couple of days. Anyway, hope you continue to find them useful.

We’re off to Los Angeles very early on Sunday morning, but, barring any technical difficulties, we’ll be checking in with regular updates from the west coast for the first part of the week…It’s back to the snow and the cold on Thursday. We’ll likely have a HUGE On Location report from the trip for you soon after we return. Until then, we’ll try and catch up with you as much as we can with today’s update. Here we go:
