Thanks cannonmc and popper for your helpful remarks. Neither point of information was immediately obvious to me, though it
may be hidden in plain site in the FAQ or other secret location. That's a time joke. Laugh when you have time.
The suggestion that possible points givers should be able to find out whether the points are NEEDED is absolutely rock solid but
is still waiting some Authority Figure to take action. Grrr.
In a way, good to know my own ignored suggestions are nothing personal. I chimed in enthusiastically a year or so ago when
I found a member asking for FreeLeech torrents to appear in some way so that one could search for the ones about to disappear
and thus in need of a prompt response, and so that those newly added to what may be a three or even four-page list would not
require endless examination and re-examination in order to keep on top of new additions.
After all, the easier it is to find something to download in a timely fashion, the more seeders/leechers there are for that torrent,
possibly even more bonus points, and certainly those sorts of things help everyone, right?
