Ed,
If you ignore the Chatter section (hard to do, true), UT has continued providing good technical support throughout the last few weeks of vitriol. The S/N ratio there is MUCH higher, and if the 'thanks it worked' messages are counted UT has some happy members.

Please don't throw out the technical baby with the argumentative bathwater.

>JVP left. I'm considering a vastly reduce presense here actively; it has nothing to do with the blue envelope or paying for a PUTM, but with the signs of a dying community here. I like UT, but it gets tiresome after a while, and the S/N ratio here is rapidly degrading to the point that the newsgroups seem like a viable option. At least my newsreader implements a twit filter. I can't speak for others, but I'd guess that some of the other active participants, MVP or not, are not happy with what is happening here.
