CC used to be a truly great place to share and gather information. Sadly, it has changed.

I do think there are those on that board that have hidden agendas, whether they are TAs, posing as posters, etc. or just simply a troublemaker who has nothing better to do than malign and create problems. Personally, I feel there is simply no comfort level any more on CC.

I do look over CC every now and then; however, this is the forum I choose to devote my time to. It is clear that readership and participation is down. The powers that be should consider this drop in participation a wake-up call.

I have a lot of respect for Ngaire, who has never overstepped the rules of CC. She has always given information and advice freely. Here, on LCT, what you see is what you get. This is an open forum for all to participate, whether Ngaire is your TA or not. It is very clear that Ngaire respects everyone's right to choose who their TA will be and gives of herself, her expertise and the use of this board with the best of intentions. We all benefit from sharing information. Unless someone is being cruel or intentionally hurtful, you are free to voice your opinions, without worry of censorship.

LTC vs. CC - Like comparing apples to oranges. I love them apples!
