Alas, poor dotty, I knew him well.
HAMLET
Let me see.
Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow
of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath
borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how
abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at
it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know
not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your
gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment,
that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one
now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen?
Now get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let
her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must
come; make her laugh at that. Prithee, Horatio, tell
me one thing.

The great thing about RHP - the thing that set it apart - was always its irreverence, its humour, the way it appreciated wit and subtlety.
What made this place unique is being undermined, and it seems too many people simply don't see what's going on.
In short: it just isn't fun any more.
Message to Russ - keep my money, I'll find somewhere else.
