    I don't get it. Why do we need two? Same people, same topics, same classifieds.

    Same classifieds ? Do you mean there are two maple classifieds on the internet in such a mess as this one ?

    I checked it out, registered and all. The site is very nice and I really like the Google map locator (very clever). But essentially, it is replicating the MapleTrader forum.

    So now I have to check two different sites for the same thing (sigh....). It's bad enough I burn enough hours reading through this forum every day. But having to scan daily two (essentially) identical sites will be a hassle.

    So, I'm kind of wondering: why it was done?
    Is there an editorial difference?
    Is sugaring in the Great Lake states so much different than sugaring in New England?
    Is there a feud in the sugaring community?
    Is there some reason why I should be dissatisfied with MapleTrader that I do not know about?

    Let me know...
