This statement alone is more than enough to TICK ME OFF! There is no
laziness involved at all. I have the FTX knowledge and gumption to get the
job done. Funny thing about the .build.mecha page though...when I go to it,
I see no discernable way to alter the page. Hmmm...could it be because my
requests to become curator of the group have been ignored more than once? Yep!

Why the HECK should someone with absolutely no interest in mecha >spend the

Another bad ass-umption. No one wants a non-mecha builder as the mecha
curator, but when those who live and breathe mecha aren't given the
position, then what's the solution? I've been waiting 9 months to find out
the answer to this question.

You've probably spent more time complaining and arguing with people >than it

links page already!

No argument there other than the one I made earlier about how tough it is to
change a page you have no control over.

Quit whining and DO, or shut up and quit wasting our time.

You first.

Blunt enough for you?  Will it actually sink in this time?  Or will you
waste more cycles responding to everyone, cycles that could be used to
actually DO?  Has the the point sunk in yet?


It sunk in for Eric long ago, my friend. For me, it just got the blood boiling.

Hey Tom, we have already tried. Why can't you do some digging before you
rush out and say that. The .mecha group is at an impass, that's why I'm
asking for help. What's your deal.

(...) Well now, THAT is a legitimate complaint. Then again, this is the first mention of that in .debate. I'm curious as to why Suz took the time to update the links, rather than just take the time to set you up as curator. Perhaps you need to ping (...)
