Garvin is gone as well? He's a great poster. This is not good.

I fear that, in light of these sad turn of events, the content here is going to get more vapid now.

I do not need political discussions on the board either; that's not why I come here. But I just skipped those threads in which I was not interested. I have a hard time understanding why others had so much trouble ignoring them, too. (I realize administrators cannot ignore them. I wonder if there can be a non-Yvonne administrator that can do that for her.)

I understand Yvonne not wanting to deal with monitoring discourse. But I do remember her willingly engaging in these political discussions as well, sometimes pointedly and uncharitably IMO, so I am surprised that it is now so exhausting to her.

I do realize this is a private board and administrators can do whatever they want. I know that Yvonne has done a great deal of work for which we are all thankful. I will trust that ownership and operatorship will do what is best for the survival and thriving of the entire Board community, a community that, even if created and administratively maintained by a very small group of people, has been shaped and nourished by many, many others.

Congratulations to women's tennis! 100 days to kickoff!
