Actually, boris told me earlier this evening that he left specifically because of the negative, unwarranted, "vicious" attacks on him, me, and walt526.

Whether Boris was over enthusiastic or not is a matter of perception. I found him to be polite, helpful and kind, in general. There may be a few instances where this wasn't true, but the vast majority of his posts were positive. I'd rather have overly positive than malicious or destructive.
I stand by my statement about the early forum. The same goes for the Yahoo group prior to the forums starting. The old days WERE better. And way more fun. There were, of course, disagreements and heated discussions, but nothing like what's been happening here the last couple months.
