I’d be lying if I didn’t say this thing has been troubled since day one. Actually well before day one. And SOME folks really liked it. And had it been implemented differently this could’ve been an actual game changer.

“Dear PoPville,

I was at the National Air and Space museum on Saturday the 28th around noon with my nephew and some family and friends. One of the (?) volunteers in the red shirts was so friendly and awesome with the kids, including when my nephew was spewing toddler jargon and he just kind of rolled with it.
