Whiney stuff snipped

I've been "around here literally for years", actually "literally for decades".

I think you'd agree that the percentage of on-topic vs. off-topic threads
has seen a major reversal, especially most recently. I actually remember
a time when the off-topic stuff was few and far between the home repair
posts and not vice-versa like it is now.

I was extremely liberal in counting off-topic discussions in a.h.r, even
allowing automotive repair, cell phone backup programs, etc. to be considered
*on*-topic since they at least have something to do with "repair" - if you
really stretch the definition. A full 50% of the most recent 60 threads are
100% non-repair related.

You people who have been "around here literally for years": Think back, is
that what a.h.r looked like back in 80's and 90's? Not to my recollection.

When I think back our country isn't what it was 30 or 40 years ago either. That is truly a shame.
This group, not so much.
