I believe most requests/suggestions are considered with an open mind, and I've seen the Powers that Be act on one individual suggestion almost immediately when it would be relatively easy and wouldn't mess anything else up.

The problem is that some of the suggestion..well, some folks would like things that way and some wouldn't. The organization here is based on the material being organized and how people access it. Discussions sometimes shift mid-thread. A 'LYR REQ:' can be come a 'Origins' discussion, which can further mutate into 'so whatever happened to that guy?' and 'anybody got chords' and 'so what fingering should I use on the D9?'.

It makes it tough on folks who want a bit more structure, but I really don't believe more structure would work very well here. Someone would have to make sure prefixes were entered correctly or edit them. Someone would have to make sure contributors kept on topic by editing, and that editing would take the form of off-topic message deletion or starting threads FOR people who bring up side issues and moving messages. It takes freedom and control from people, and it's way too much work!

Jim Dixon, that 'one group per thread' thing bothers me too. For instance, a thread on an individual's playing on a song might belong in a group on that individual, a group on playing technique, or a group on the specific song. They may be working on it though.
