Who is left Lou?

After all that work you have all done too, shocking way to treat folks who spent so much time and effort contributing to the paper.

I'm wondering if there's a connection between this and the forum closure?

It's all been very badly handled.....shame on those concerned!!
It brings back my last place of work, brought somebody in to change things for the better, he was not a people person either, we were all out of work in a matter of months..a family run business finished.
A paper i used to buy on another subject changed things also for the better, was said needed bringing up to date, a fresh approach.....i stopped buying it as i found it no longer interesting enough, also ceased.

I wish GN well with whatever they have planned.

I feel for you all, over the way you have been treated, Courtesy costs nothing and you all deserved better.

Shame on them!!!
