@bijouxbroussard So far as I’m concerned it’s not an obsession, simply a consistent opinion. So when anybody asks I will express that opinion. Why it’s significant that EP has been gone for more than 5 years I don’t understand. I’ll still have the same opinion in 10 years time, if I’m alive, unless SW has changed for the better.

@MartinII What’s wrong with SW ? The amount of time is significant, because EP is unlikely to return.

@bijouxbroussard There’s no chance of EP returning, but I don’t see why one shouldn’t use it as a model by which to judge its successors. There are plenty of things I remember fondly from 50 years ago which I sometimes use in a similar way!
What’s wrong with SW? I’ll mention three things, by comparison with what I remember of EP. SW is less easy to use. There are many fewer active members, and partly as a result substantive interesting posts are relatively rare. The management is much more intrusive, and has hounded out quite a lot of people, including friends of mine. (I myself left in protest last year, but came back with mixed feelings.)
