If there are all these perfectly run sites out there, and Babble suffers in comparison in the consideration of some, why don't those some just post links the perfectly run sites and urge people to run towards the light?
Or the perfectly run sites could take out ads on Yahoo and get still more posters. Soon, Babble would be but a ghost town, inhabited only by the few who prefer the way Dr. Bob runs his site.
Dr. Bob doesn't prevent the linking to other sites here. And voting is done with the fingers on the internet.
Why does Babble have to become a clone of other sites? Sounds dreadfully dull to me. I like the way my son's school is run, and I greatly dislike the way XXX school is run. But I don't go to XXX school and tell them they need to change their operating procedures. I happily tell parents of newly school aged children how happy we are with our school. But if they prefer something different, that's cool too. If Babble were the equivilant of public school, with no school choice, that'd be different. But if there are tons of sites run just the way certain people like...?
