Don,
My feeling is to keep is as is. The old saying "if it ain't broke why fix it."
In the past you have given the members just enough latitude to converse about issues outside the lakes region. Sports and some politics. Issues that do effect the lakes region. But a tight hold on the issue to keep it civil was used.
You and the moderators have done a fine job and the site has been a pleasure to visit. although I have not used it as much as in the past.

I have had to "lurk" over the last couple years.
Keep it the same.
