>>Has anyone actually complained about the content of the chatter section (or does anyone want to). Or was this just a unilateral decision on Michel's part ?

>I asked Michel to close the Chatter Politics category so that I can spend more time reading about Web API (just kidding :).

Might have been a better reason. Admittedly feelings seemed to be running high but so what ? Things would probably cool down in a year or so :-}

Actually I don't mind that the Chatter Politics is closed but it would be nice to have other Chatter categories: books, movies, languages. Where else will I ask my profound :) French language questions?!. I am watching a very interesting French series on Netflix and it would be cool to discuss it with other Francophiles :)
>I hope you had a Merry Christmas.

Still going on here - yesterday was a holiday, today's a holiday (because Xmas day was a Sunday) and, to all intents an purposes, most people won't be back at work until next week.
Ate so much Christmas dinner I needed nothing else for 36hrs :-}
Hope you're having a good one too......
