Thanks, Jim. I appreciate the positive feedback. As to the idea of adding a "Human Nature" forum, I have been a bit ambivalent. While traffic to the site is very high, the forums have always been a challenge here. I am not sure if adding new places for posting dillutes the over-all feel of the community. I have seriously debated decreasing the number of forums and having a broader expansion of what each does. i.e. Collapse General/National Park and Nature into one forum and add a component for folks who do CityScapes.

I see a parallel to cities like Detroit that have had to collapse the borders in order to stabilize the community.
