I could make a joke that parallels a recent news story, but I won’t.

Wow! I forgot Fathom. I was a regular there when this board took a header. What a miserable December (and January?) that was.

I just trotted over there and my userid is still there. Maybe I’ll start dropping by now and then.

There’s a new set of boards at Yahoo

[Yahoo Answer Boards answers.yahoo.com](http://answers.yahoo.com/)

They seem to cover all the areas. The feel is not like this board, but there seems to be lots of active posters.

It should be good for those kinds of questions that require real world opinions (How do I do this, find this, get this fixed …)
