    If you are speaking about the remarks that some have made about PF 'dying' then that is quite undertandable but the fact is PF is a closed forum these days and for non members it is essentially dead. I have always supprted Ben and this forum (even though I am one of the people whose testkit problem was never fully rectified), as you probably realize but I really don't understand some of the bad feelings that seem to have been generated since TFP came on the scene.

    Then again, if I am not mistaken weren't you the one who closed the TFP thread initally? I forget the reason why. If I am wrong about that I apologize, it's been a while and my memory is not what it used to be!
    Yes, and I re-opened it too. Please remember that, too. As a moderator I have the duty to shut down threads I consider damaging and consult with the other mods, and, either keeping them shut, or re-opening them. Think of it as "The officials are reviewing the play". How you moderate on TFP is between you and SeanB and the members (of which I am one, albeit fairly inactive). But it's not relevant to our responsibilities here at PF. Nor am I talking about anything posted on TFP. We don't monitor what it posted at TFP, but we do monitor what's posted here.

    I think SeanB's words immediately above express exactly what I feel the relationship should be between the two boards. I think all of the mods here at PF would agree with that. We would like to keep it that way and hope that others will keep that in mind.

    Yes, I am quite aware of that fact.

    Well, as a member of this board (forget the fact that I am a mod at TFP...I've been a member here for a longer period of time, and I believe a contributing one at that) I am just a bit confused by the bad feelings that seem to abound. Like I stated in the prevoius post I can undersand how people that had test kit problems would be upset and I understand how taxing that must have been on the Mods here to deal with but I don't understand where the other "criticism" that you refer to is supposed to be coming from because I, for one, have not really seen any. Like I said I must have missed something.
