    I feel exactly as you do.

    I am disinclined to work for nothing boosting the profits of a private business venture which treats us like pondlife!

    Their point no. 7 really cracked me up: Trying to justify your actions by taking children and football players as examples is really quite daring...
    Yes! (I loved your post on llz, btw). Although 'daring' isn't really quite the right word, is it? I'm trying to think of a printable form of the one I have in mind...

    Well they are meant for Tom to read... I am sure that Tom is following this thread as closely as any of us

    I only wish he were. Isn't part of the problem that he is simply disconnected from the everyday life of the forum - he just parachutes in and gives orders when the noise from the masses gets too loud to ignore any longer? I honestly don't think he has much clue and I wish I knew what he does all day.

    The fact that he does not reply to his emails is a symptom of this. Also, a while ago, when all that stuff blew up about 'Topic Experts' (esp. the ones he gave instant 'knighthoods' to for their cash!), he really didn't get it then, either. Several people emailed him to protest about the effect this had had on morale and he just kept insisting these new TEs were wonderful and would keep the site afloat.

    When I was nominating some of the regulars to be Topic Experts, it was like communicating with the dead. He takes literally weeks and weeks to get back to anyone on anything, if he ever does. (I'm not the only one who has experienced this).

    *Most of them from me, though?! :D

    Wow - just clocked the avatar! I must see if I can beat that. (Once I've worked out how to upload an image in the first place).

    Yes, come on, MTG, get an avatar. As it looks like we may be stuck on MSE for evermore, we had better get in the spirit of things and learn to LIKE IT.

    I am much less sure. He seems far more concerned about emails from disgruntled newbies than in the complaints of those who actually take the trouble to answer their questions (and put up with their insults in return for it).
