Another hoping for Dan's return (with the volume turned down a bit)... for those who don't like his stuff it's not a requirement to read eveything . It does good for someone to shake things up a bit occasionally, lest UKB, which is argualbly a bit too male, elite clique, risk becoming fossilised (the site set-up, moderation and populace mitigates against new things becoming nasty, as it can be at times on t'other channel). The site success is well measured by the sense in which those who left are missed: just like families and groups of close friends, good people come and go.
