   so far i don't like it. i don't like anonymity 
in general. i don't like forums. i don't like cloud 
or other big-enterprise services. i don't like ads. 
i don't like sales pitches such as those written by 
the anonymous proponent of this enterprise-based 
service. 
   if some of us want a forum, why can't we get some 
open source software and install it and configure it 
as we like? no ads, no anonymity, no sales pitches 
urging us to try it (get into the silo).
