    One Last (Maybe) Complaint -- You Deserve It!

    I am a veteran at TPM, although I can't say how long, because the old way of acknowledging that is gone.  Recently I have gotten into lots of conversations with people here, and as hard as I try, I can't keep up with the comments back and forth, because they are so limited.  They disappear before I can get back to them.

    I understand the way to do it is through Google, but I frankly can't recall all the titles of blogs that have interested me.  I know that most of you don't know how it used to be, and I probably sound like an old coot talking about the good old days, but  the minority who remain know what I mean, and the rest of you...  

    Hhumor me.  The Old TPM had an archive of every single post you ever made.  It also had an archive of every single RESPONSE to that post that was ever made.  So if you had to go to work, or away for the weekend, you could continue a conversation with a person who either agreed or disagreed with you.

    Conversations were not lost.

    Also, it did not take a herculean effort to find a response to a post you had made.  You could just click on your post, and all responses came up.  If you wanted to check on a blog you were particularly interested in, but didn't want to read through the things you had already read, the new things were highlighte so you could quickly scroll through.  In fact, if you clicked on a comment, it came up without having to scroll through inches of comments that you had already read.

    At TPM they talked about continuing to make improvements, and responding to our needs.  That has all stopped.  This is it.  If you look at Huffington Post, where you may as well not bother to post at all, that seems to be the goal here.

    I am a long-time TPM poster who remains profoundly disappointed in this site, and the flagrant disregard of its loyal posters. 

     

    Has there been ONE improvement in the last 3 months?  I don't think so.
