Blueskies.....you're quite right, times have certainly changed, as [[sigh...) they must....

This is a really interesting 'walking down memory lane' thread, reflecting on just how much times have changed......and we're all here, expressing how we feel that it has not all been for the better.

Maybe you might consider starting a 'sister' thread, to run alongside this one, but on the lines of 'Remember how things are better now...' - ?

The responses, taken from a different view, could be just as interesting
