Hmm... the forum in a sorry state... or "is it" in a sorry state? I am assuming that is what you meant by the question. IMO, one can rightfully argue that at times the forum has indeed been in a sorry state.
The uncertainty is the or "is it". What is the "is it" that is being referred to? "Is it" Bapu's ability to play Am, or something other than Am? "Is it" somehow dealing with the Beagle becan shortage, that rumor has it will cause becan rationing at the rate of one strip per person per week? So, I guess since "is it" is so undefined, there is no way to answer the question, or "is there"?
