Are you guys taking about the removal of the SxS site? If so, I must concur on considerable loss, to say the least.  I personally find it invaluable and often point collegues to that site.  Additionally, I have been thanked many times over for some of the articles that I wrote (especially the one on multi-flash card readers).  I would hate to see the site go.
