You have made yourself hard to ignore, BradW. You have expressed a strong dislike for Puna, regret your experience in some degree and are happier back in Contigumerica. Most people on this forum live in Puna or aspire to live here. Your nagging expressions of negativity, while obviously sincere, are a little bit like a pig in a punchbowl, as most of us find much to be positive about in Puna. Most of us are aware of the downsides, to which I would add my personal view of the downsides of Puna have absolutely no relation to anything discussed by anyone on this forum. Some things you just have to find out for yourself and may be peculiar to you and your particular set of circumstances. You are entitled to drift in and out to impart your impressions based on your particular experience, but at some point one begins to wonder if this is a public service or a private problem. We wish you the best -- perhaps on a forum pertaining to the Eastern Wastelands of Oregon. We'll be sure to drop in from time to time to remind you how very glad we are that we don't live there. I'm sure you'll understand.
