The way I understand it, the people who were
actually interested in discussing Trash didn't create a
new forum, and AFAIK don't want a new forum...
Levinson, for reasons unknown to anyone, decided that a
separate forum would be a good idea. For my part, I don't
see the need for separate forums, as there are far
more similarities than differences between the two
formats; very few people play one format and not the
other; and the majority of topics discussed here apply
both to trash and academic tournaments.
