Not only that, people seem to feel compelled to suggest changing something, anything. It's like they feel that they have to "contribute" and to "contribute" means "ask for a change". It's frustrating. The question at hand is not "is there anything we can change?" It's not even "is there anything we can improve?". These are negative attitudes. At some point you just have to ask "is this *better* that whant we have today?" and if it is, accept it and go forward. We can talk about doing another update LATER. Does this site do everything I possibly want? no. Is it perfet? no. But it's very good, its fantastic, I love it. Let's put it up. > However, I must call to your attention: > 1) There is no perfect web site - we must decide on something that is > BETTER than it was; ++++1000 !!! As I said above. Yes, exactly. > 3) There is no way that everyone can be made happy. Correct. I have one more: 4) You don't have to change something to feel you "contributed". Please don't reques a change just to change something. At least, not at this stage. Not in the final phase of the site. > So...

The time for major site re-designs is pas. If you want one, start a mockup and tell us next week.
