I've posted some neat stuff there and I find they're so caught up in politics they don't tend to the basic information... not just my posts but the neat stuff... the bread and butter of any site. However it doesn't get through to their crowd so much as it does here... people here are more receptive to material that isn't political.
Disclaimer: I am not saying you have smarter people here as a whole but it sometimes seems that way.
I like the fact that we have much less political crap here, though a little here and there is fine. The smaller format suits me, too. Goatland has been going downhill for some time now.
