This got bumped back to me, and the Waste site was down. So sorry if this gets
posted twice...

lacks free-ranging discussion, and the ambience is therefore more impersonal
and uh stiff. No horsing around. No getting to know each other as people over a

I agree with your assessment above. Also, I hate the formatting of the posts
as they arrive in the form of "forwards" through the mailbox of the moderator,
full of ">"'s preceding every line, making the posts nearly unreadable. Just
try reading the archives and you'll see what I mean.
