Just an observation upon reading this entire thread…
Having been a member for a few years now, and having had my fare share of hard drive crashes, losing my libraries, having to start over, rebuilding my seed points .... hell I can even remember when Administrator let me have some free credits when I pleaded for assistance ... and he helped me out. And in turn, I have kept my promise back to him. I love this site. I enjoy the community. I appreciate those who contribute to it, and I appreciate even more those who help facilitate and administer it. Uwe, more than anyone, simply because I tried to help rebuild the system after the crash last year of the site. The point is, this is a community, and it take members to help make it work. And members have been given the opportunity to voice concerns, make suggestions, and interact with staff. It's part of what makes this community great - and why I personally enjoy it, and I'm sure thousands of others do as well.
Debate can be good - it helps foster community - and it helps improve things that can be improved upon. I certainly have full respect for everyone on staff involved in created, building, tweaking and supporting this site and system. Truly, my hats off to all of you for what you have accomplished. I know you have heard suggestions in the past, made adjustments, and the history of your actions and changes are lost if not recognized by many in the community - especially those who are new'ish to us.
