I,too, voted against it but in retrospect I should've voted for it. I'm not a member of any other forum nor ever have been. But, I imagine most forums aren't set up the way this one is. It specifically has a section, labelled right up front, that this is a non-technical aspect of the forum that is just for socializing. If someone is only interested in the technical aspects don't open it up. And, damn, I've agreed with Larry twice now! As long as it remains civil, then why not? As for the avatars/signblock I think some have been over the line and since they show up on every part of the forum, not only in the Pub, I think they should be free of politics.
