Ehrmantraut *** REPLACE THIS MESS *** Hey, what's all the hoopla? Frank Adrian barged in to a bunch of the groups I need and said that the net is going to change. Well all I want to know is, SEZ WHO ? It seems there are people who have self-appointed themselves to positions of "Caretaker" and whatever they think is right is going to happen. I ask you, SEZ WHO ? Who exactly is LAUREN ? Who elected this person to moderate/censor ANYTHING? Normally when there are changes to the way this thing works, there is a big debate, and eventually some sort of consensus is reached. STARGATE seems to be being handled a lot differently: some folks decided it would be better to route the traffic via satellite instead of groundlines and started efforts to make that happen. What galls me is that this idea (like a LOT of software "improvements") is being done wihtout consulting the user community. You get what you get. Big deal. Why is this idea so sacrosanct that it cannot be submitted for approval before implementation? Why the friggin' SECRECY?
