Before Todd wears yet another hammering, a quick note in support, feel free
to hunt me instead.
Contrary to the culture of entitlement popular in the US (you know, I'm owed
stuff just 'cause I'm here, ne'er-do-wells protesting 'I have rights' etc) I
don't think people have rights or even enforceable interests in the content
on Lugnet. It's Todd's (and Suzanne's I guess, haven't quite wrapped my
head around all that). He can pretty much do whatever he wants, and that's
entirely cool. We either find it interesting and log on, or not and sod off.
A consensus on Lugnet might be interesting to Todd, but what he wants to do
with his site is way more important.
I wouldn't mind an MB database etc etc etc, but I have no problem with Todd
deciding what he wants to do and what he doesn't. I can't be bothered to do
it myself, and can hardly complain because someone else is not of a mood to
do so.
Try telling me I'm unnecessarily severe in some of my calls on what I do
with my site, and see how that changes my plan ;-)
Even if Todd was being unreasonable (which he's not), that's fine, its his site!

Still baldly going...
