I do remember that, when it went to separate regions. Some people liked it, others didn't care for it at least initially. I think partly because there are good posters that people liked to hear from each region, even if they were looking for different things. But it did get difficult following events for your particular area, when you heard various interpretations. And yeah, nobody around here cares to read all about Boston getting hammered by a blizzard when there's nothing in this area. In the end, I think the regionalized format is much better and prefer it to the previous almost free-for-all discussions.
