I so agree MissT. Posters like TTT currently and AOG and Mikey for example from the past would post lots of interesting news topics that generated discussion and even if you din't agree with them at least it made good reading and a chance to learn something.

I certainly had as many, if not more, than anyone else on here, in terms of run-ins with AOG during his tenure on here.

I think he was a good aspect of the News section, but no-one is indispensable.
