How about splitting this site into 2 parts. One part for ex-pats and potential ex-pats seeking knowledge and help with problems or situations. The second part can be reserved for those who wish to tirelessly continue writing tomes concerning how many angels fit on the head of a pin, and demonstrating their erudition for others of like mind. Wading through endless amounts of opinion and bickering in the hope of harvesting a tid-bit of info is enough to make anyone stay in their home country.
