By a slim margin, the forum will remain. Because the vote was so close, and there as a lot of chatter about not wanting to wade thru the virus threads when a user clicks the "new Posts" button on the home page, I have made the following change. The threads in the virus forum no longer will show up when you click "new posts" So for those who are not interested, you no longer have to even see the threads.. V8 Buick will remain as it always has been, unless you go looking for the virus stuff. Yes, this is how I view the board, and I will have to make a couple extra clicks to view the virus stuff. Big deal... This is the best compromise I could see to make the max number of folks happy. Thanks JW
