I am also a rare poster, but I read the forum emails everyday in quest of useful or interesting info. Elliott has often posted such info and I will miss his presence, too. In my opinion, the design of the forum inhibits interaction needlessly. A simple toolbar enabling a standard “like” or “funny” reply (as on Facebook for instance) would allow anyone to voice appreciation for the poster without having to compose a response. Also, the censoring that goes on when trying to offer assistance to others is off-putting. A number of times I have offered my personal contact or a vendor contact to someone needing help, only to have it “rejected” by the moderator(s).
