I dont agree the site is dying at all, and everyone is entitled to their view.
As for me, I sit on the fence on this one, and whilst I can see Dawnys point of view, think of people like John who will walk down to the coop tomorrow for his weekly challenge, and then find all of the answers already posted.
I think the answer is a half way house, and I prefer John's approach whereby he gives another simpler clue rather than the answer.
But then it takes all sorts!
