Hi Phil, you have explained my thoughts well in your post above, I think what you say is a fair statement .
I have noticed a few of the regular poster of curry related topics have disappeared of late.
Front page had been empty of new curry related photos.
I will also find myself retreating from the forum if the current line of food continues, but that's because of my personal passion or cooking curry or even Asian, Chinese related food.
Cheers
