Yes Tim but how often did you use the community forums for 
communication.  The "community" forum section is where most of this 
discussion takes place now.  This format is MUCH better than a blog 
format with comments no matter if council's official or personal blogs.  
Sorry if you feel the current council has let you down in some way, but 
I also encourage you to step up and run, rather than throw stones.
