I haven't the slightest idea about what the good ol' days were like, but what exactly is so horrible about the state it's in right now? Has the Spam become too willy-nilly and pointless, or is it because the new members haven't the charisma that the Golden-Oldies do? Is it a combination of both?

I get what you mean that you wish SYM could go back to how it was (even without knowing what that actually entails), but is there anything that can really be done short of, as you put it, adopting a sense of etiquette? I fail to see the problem with it right now, but it is hard to judge when I may very well be part of the disease... And I mean that without any offense taken at all from your arrogant comments (truly).

Has it really become a Platonic Symposium turned after-hours bar as I believe you've implied? Or is this just being blown out of proportion?

I believe the latter, but hey what do I know...
