Which of these do you least enjoy? I decided not to list myself as an option.

Interesting that of 4 responses thus far, 2 cite "unfriendliness" toward...
People need to learn to take things less seriously. I find little unfriendliness that couldn't be fairly easily shrugged off.

Too many polls.

Ooh... yeah! I had intended to make that an option, and forgot when I was putting the poll together!

Thats nice. We should argue sometime.

I voted for the last option.
There are too many knowitalls around

That Wisely dude really torques me off. Who does he think he is?

I clicked "politics." It just seems that I can't get away from political discussions, no matter where I go, and it gets old (and rather depressing). I would never say "don't discuss this" (not only is it not my right to do so, but as is often pointed out, if I don't want to read them, I don't have to click on them), but I do keep wishing there were someplace...anyplace...where politics just weren't an issue.

What can I say? I live in Santa Cruz, and in Santa Cruz you can't walk down the block without getting someone's political opinion rammed in your face...it just gets a little wearying.

Redwolf,I can so easily get away from political discussions,because they are incredibly hard to understand.....in English.

Sometimes being ignorant is quite rewarding.

I clicked on "Unfriendliness . . ." but nearly clicked on "Politics".

I've seen more vitriol, from otherwise decent people, on those two topics than seems reasonable. There are a lot of folks on here that I really like - but these topics, especially politics, seems to bring out the worst of all of us I like to think that, in most cases, we could discuss it in person - but the lack of immediate feedback on the board sometimes encourages us to go far beyond the level of vehemence we'd show face to face.

I quite enjoy the fact that there's not enough discussion of bird calls for a so-called whistle site. To be brutally honest, I really enjoy it. But I don't enjoy it nearly as much as the other things on the list so it had to get my vote.

Hi there, my first post

As a newbie, I think the forum is rather disorganized (just an opinion, please take no offence); when it comes to find information or opinions of other users about an specific maker, player or matter, it gets really difficult, the only option is post a new thread about something that maybe was answered before; it would be great if it was divided in sections (for example, Help for beginners, Opinions about whistle makers, Politics..); just a suggestion, I love the forum

Too much politics? I see one political thread in the most recent fifty threads and it isn't exactly hidden. Unless you consider the United States of America Greeting Card political.

I have to admit that I am baffled by this myself. Although people say to me all the time that the board is all OT and so much politics, at any given time if you count the last 50 or so threads, the great majority aren't OT, or at least aren't TOO OT.

Too bad there's not another option right under "Too much politics." It could be "Too much complaining about too much politics."

I voted for Amar, even though I don't understand how Cornflakes have anything to do with declining birth-rates.

Amar is the devil. He made me buy a low F, and an F flute, and a bunch of CDs... then somehow he made me order a Phil Bleazey flute on Thursday.... when my bank manager kills me I shall haunt Amar for all eternity and make every F-sharp he ever plays an F-natural...
