Phoenix over Iceland

A beautiful picture.

Nice one, Bill.

Beats a lot of the stuff that finds its way onto SAGG!

Bill S., if you want better content you have to supply it. You should know by now that SAGG is user-driven, and the quality of the content is strictly driven by the quality of the input material. If you want better content, supply some. I have submitted a great deal of content to this board and it goes unremarked and unremembered. SAGG is as SAGG gets. If you want a show quality pup, feed it show quality chow and stroke its desirable traits well.

You are absolutely right, Rose. Over the years I have been posting on SAGG I have tried to make positive contributions, but even my optimism flags at times when it seems SAGG is being choked.

We seem to have lost quite a few positive, lively posters and I guess we will all have to make a concerted effort if we are going to attract some new ones.

I enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of SAGG, and appreciate that maintaining that while combating trolling must involve a fine balancing act. Please don't think your efforts are entirely unappreciated.
