It is impossible to please everyone. When we discuss it, it immediately becomes overwhelming and unmanageable. Too many members with too many opposing needs and desires. I have 224 PMs currently, 87% of which are suggestions, demands and desires, each of which are the opposite of the next. You may discuss it all you like, but I am but one man. Reading it all would take a lifetime, let alone implementing any of it.

Please know that I am trying.

I am trying to settle disputes, quell cantankerous members, deal with the BNP, find a balance of UK and US, find a balance with Vols, improve the technology, upgrade the server, speed the search, update the DigiTrad, add your photos, delete your photos, find the CD you sent me in 1998, fix your spelling errors, answering your pm's, watching threads, fending off publishing companies, consulting with Vols, answering emails (5,781 in Oct), etc and so on.

If you don't see me posting here, you assume I am off on a tropical island spending mudcat contributions on Mai Tai's and happy endings. Lets just say that I am here a lot more than you may be aware and I've only spent mudcat money on a prostitute once, and that was because she had a heart of gold.

Every day, all day on every computer I own is a constant stream of every message that is posted to every thread. Can I read all of it? No. I have a job, and kids, and a beagle. Plus, I'm actually only into Hip Hop music.
