No, because then we would never be able to discuss non-rocketry related things, and it would be incredibly hard to make any friends, since other that rocketry specific stuff, I would have no idea who I was talking to.
I'de probably never send anyone any free anything, and they likewise probably not send me free stuff, as we would not have a sense of who we were, or I was into the same kinds of stuff as them.
I like to know a little more about who I'm talking to then if they like rockets, and that's why I don't bother anymore with the other rocket forums that come and go.
If this Forum got rid of The Watering Hole, it would greatly reduce the sense of community, and I'de probably have nothing worth sharing and loose my interest in stuff like safety and other things that having a sense of being part of a community of Human Beings entails.
I'd just go back to hanging out on Survivalist Boards and Gun Forums. I don't have any real people to talk to, and sometimes I have a quirky opinion that needs to be shared with somebody, if only so they can save me from myself.:wink:
Sure, I can stay on topic when I need to, but sometimes it's nice to talk about bird watching or "Guns and Rockets", with folks I know, atleast as far as I can get to know them by the materials they work with and their opinions about stuff they like or don't like.
