I just wanted to say “thank you” JC and LF for one great site and upgrade. The upgrade on the e-mail is wonderful! Several times when I logged in the small menu would pop down to let me know I had mail and that is great. You two need to ignore any and all negative coments made by anyone and just continue to do the fantastic job you are doing. Thank you both very much. Love you all and this web site.

Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike.

What about constructive criticism? Maybe ignoring that isn’t such a good idea…after all, the board members are going to be the ones that offer suggestions for improvement.
In the real world, one must listen in order to learn. Even the teachers.

I admire your independence on this forum as well as agree with your reasoning.
Then you agree with us asking questions for changes and improvements last month and receiving over 23 hundred offers, and our ‘I wish’ topic that is up now. We are always receptive to constructive suggestions. When they are destructive cynicism disguised with humor or just plain criticism, these are not so graciously received. This new BB is one of the changes in the plan. Several others are in the works as well. Some will show to the user, some will only be in equipment, software or programing. The set of upgrades will take about two years to complete. I am sure during that period I am sure changes will be made.
For instance, this next Sunday, the tenth, is the tenth anniversary of FAOL. I want to ‘toot our horn’ a bit about that. Not a lot of websites can say that. So if I put up a ‘whoopie’ type of issue it will go live at midnight on Sunday. One second later it is Monday morning, the 11th of September. Right, 9/11. Do we look ahead and try to do the right thing? Well, we try to. Not sure we always make it though. Sometimes there may be more things ‘not done’ that are more important than the ones which show up. The biggest and most involved change is our indexing and ease of navagation for the user. This was demonstrated by responses asking for new features. We already had about 93% of them.
JC
Yeah…I agree with that as well.
I also realize this is a work in progress and decisions and no doubt some compromises will have to be made.
The improvements so far are noticeable even to me.
lf and jc
we were away for 2 weeks without internet access and when i signed on last night i did not recognize the site with all the changes over that time.
i am still getting used to them and i LIKE them.
thanks
