But there is one thing missing in this whole issue that I have been waiting to see if it would come about, but has not. Therefore, I am going to state the fact. Yes, this is a good way for them to get their feet wet and all that. But... I have not seen any post by Barry or any others of the new team saying "Hey, this is something we thought we would try and it had a good idea and thought but gee wiz golly oops there are some issues with it and we value your opinions of this test and will your comments to help us better understand and prepare for the future." Nothing personal Scott, but so far all we have seen is your responses defending it maybe a little more adamantly than you need to. Testing the waters if fine. But when a person steps into hot water, it would be normal for that person to react and say ouch or something. Besides, the first rule of making mistakes is admitting it.
