Don't know what you mean by follow the rules. It's just a fact that the site won't show up in as many searches with just a few, undifferentiated threads so less likely to get new members. And if anyone wants to just stay in this thread, that's fine. No rules, nobody is going to force therm to do anything. They just won't be that much a part of the larger community beyond this thread. I think that would be their loss, but everyone is free to make their own choice. I personally value the SET community & want it to grow so
@dougiemac doesn't have to subsidize us out of his own pocket. YMMV.
