Nope, I don't feel that your post is a "kick in the teeth" at all. I am way past that stage about all this. Now such posts just reinforce my believe that my decision was based on sound reasoning and accurate interpretation of the facts and perceived trends.
If FaunaClassifieds necessarily follows in the path of the Board of Inquiry down the toilet, then so be it. I never expected this to last forever. I'm actually surprised that it got as big as it once did anyway. Certainly wasn't because I knew what the hell I was doing.
Heck, I remember being VERY surprised when the site hit 2,000 registered members!
So no harm done by your post on my end. Thanks for your input.
