If some don't find this site to be up to the standard they think it should be then it would be interesting to see what they consider to be "better"?
Exactly; they might also try to set up one of their own and grow that...
I think that LuLa has several things very much going for it, quite apart from the 'what's new' sort of thing which will probably please those people still buying stuff and filled with the dream that the next lens or body will ring the doorbell to heaven.
For myself, probably atypical of most Internet travellers, I enjoy some of the regular writers here and much appreciate the digital help that I've had, willingly offered, by a lot of folks in sections where I don't normally contribute anything other than SOS signals; to me, that's pretty cool!
Additionally, I rather like the overall attitude of the 'management' which is not hung up on strict disciplines of one sort or the other, and allows conversations to develop naturally, which for myself, makes reading and writing interesting. Tied to what would amount to a digital remodelling of people and their nature, a strict 1 or 0 thing, I doubt I would have lasted this long; as it is, I've felt disenchanted a couple of times but that was to do with assholes in particular and not the site and its denizens in general. We have a great thing going here - let's hope it continues to support the freedoms that it does right now.
