I never understand why people say it’s buggy. I Use it on the iPhone app and it works fine for me. Never any problems. I think some of the posting has dropped off due to the gulf layoffs catching up to us. I’ve been posting less too bc there haven’t really been any topics I feel like weighing in on much. ---

I don’t post much anymore because I usually have no access to Internet, and when I do, it has been too difficult, or impossible, to login or post. ---

Tough to get your career started when you are competing with senior mates or even masters for the few open jobs. My posting has dropped off because no one wants to hear what’s really on my mind.
