[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by andrechapelon So why is so much bandwidth taken up with predictions of imminent hobby demise (see similar thread "A Wakeup Call")? [/quote] It's the same two or three people (and espeically one) who've chosen this topic to use to conitnually draw attention to themslelves, I guess. No other purpose makes sense. When you consider the hundreds of people who visit this site regularly and the thousands that visit occasionally, I guess it's only natural that a handful decide to would attack the hobby itself to garner attention. I've contibuted to the problem by trying to post logical data to these threads, which is simply shouted down by the gloom and doomers. That exchange just keeps moving the thread to the front page -- even more attention for the Chicken Littles. Maybe part of it is the hubris of the Baby Boomers .. some of them think that everything began with them and everything will die with them. Well, I've made myself a promise that this will be the last time I post to the now-weekly "the hobby is dying, it hit me on the head" threads. If we all did the same, we'd have more room for more interesting items.
