Blog vs Forum
I was corrected for a post in which I called the forum a blog. Please look up both definitions and tell me that alot of the postings are not in blog format. pretty fine line.

Sunset, the following may help; (red is me)
“A blog (a portmanteau of the term web log)[1] is a personal journal (no chit-chat back and forth, more like story telling.) published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order so the most recent post appears first. Blogs are usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often are themed on a single subject. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.”
“An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages.[1] They differ from chat rooms in that messages are at least temporarily archived. Also, depending on the access level of a user or the forum set-up, a posted message might need to be approved by a moderator before it becomes visible.”

Is this thread somehow "Local Rumors and Criminal Activity"?

Just an observation but SunsetKid seems to have a problem with the complexities of the various categories on this forum.

Have you ever considered posing a question that is not belligerent, pugnacious and combative? The tendency is at best, annoying...
a real PITA (pain-in-the-arse). Lizzy

Aye, Kipper... patience is a virtue... and attention that has to be begged for really isn't worth the indignity. Lizzy

Nope... we're back north for the summer. It's finally turning nice here.
San Carlos is warming up and my neighbor there says our little frangipani is blooming... (Bless the man, he's watering for me). Lizzy
