    What do you want to put in The Can that you can't put in the Inglenook? The Ash Can was originally designed to be the Penalty Box. That is why we put in the Inglenook so there was a place for off topic chat.

    So hanging out in there is a bad thing?

    Nothing the Moderators can do about it...only Craig. Even if we could, we wouldn't unless he said so.

    Actually that's one think I do like about the can... I can disagree with folks there but find common ground and agreement in the other forums.
    This kind of illustrates what we need more of the in this country in general...congenial agreement to disagree while also looking for common ground and the mutual respect then created.

    Which part do you disagree with....that Hearth members can disagree on political issues in the Can but agree on technical issues in other forums
    or that those in this country can disagree while striving to find common ground?

    Or, are you just messing with me and I'm not getting it? :p

    in the inglenook, if you refer to someone as a fascist pig-dog it can be taken the wrong way...in the can it is well understood to be a term of endeerment. hugs.
