Sky, I understand your frustration. I use to be an admin on a site and I think it is hard for we interested posters to get a feel for what the admin are up against. I'm interested in myself (surprise! :-) and my issues and problems and the admin have hundreds of posts and people doing their own thing just like you and me. Anything they do, someone isn't going to like.

Were I you, I would think of my complaining in a positive sense, sort of like Dr. Clay's Freedom Writers. I think the admin do care and are interested in hearing from each and every one of us but just don't have the ability to keep the board well balanced and respond to each and every one of us who contacts them. I have almost never, when I've looked at "Who's Online," seen Doc John doing anything other than reading PM's. That's hard work since it probably is not pleasant correspondence he's initiated like you and I can do in PM's? I think when we complain about admin stuff on the boards, it never gets resolved; everyone has a different perspective equally valid. It reminds me of the song from Gigi, "I Remember It Well." http://er.neoxer.com/lyrics/gigi.html

I'm big on Aesop's "The Fox and the Grapes" and "reverse psychology" and figure I offer myself and my words, thoughts, and feelings to the board and if someone doesn't "like" them, that's their loss, I didn't want to talk to them right then, anyway :-)
