Difference in philosophy, then, I guess. I in no way intend to diminish the
service Todd and Suz have done to the community - I appreciate their efforts
greatly and a lot of people have benefitted.
The fact that this site exists doesn't give it merit, but the users of the
site and the richness they have added does. We show our appreciation for it
and support (with the intention of furthering its progress) by donating
money. That's why I think we should be heard.
Todd & Suz have made incredible sacrifices of time for the vision they have
for the community, and I appreciate it. But, when decisions like this are
made, I think that the community (which they have brought together) should
get some say in decisions like this.
