I have definately been on more often than just last year. I have even closed threads in the past month.
I rarely send messages to people when they use "report to moderator", but I do check out the issue. If I have a question as to why the thread was reported, then I will write to the person who has reported the thread.
So, umm, has this topic been discussed fully or are we just going to add a few pages of derailment before Fionavar or myself closes the topic.
