This is to the Herald itself: First, thank you for the Spout off forum as it is great for folks to share thoughts. Unfortunately, over the past few years, it has become a forum for more and more political spewing. I would love it if you could at least have a section for inspiration, happy, and just good comments. As a reader for well over 30 years, I remember a time when the Spout had neighbors complimenting and sharing great stories. Yes, there were the complaints and that's fine but this constant reading about how this person hates Trump and that person hates Biden is depressing!
Moderator's Note: The moderator would like nothing better than a day of compliments and shared stories.Perhaps your spout will inspire such messages. We will be delighted to print them.
