Dear ASA,
I was just agreeing with the poster I attached my response to.
While it may be, all well and good that every time you send a complaint
you receive an acknowledgement to your suggestions. Not every every
person has your batting average. I would suppect your response from the
WebMasters are indeed unusually. It could be because you are a known in
the community as Developer and have some authority with the WebMasters.
(Saying well if Asa Dozier world renown developer says something is
wrong it must be.)
Also You didn't seem to notice that I gave one example and "did not
state that all Webmasters" were that way. I was just bringing up the
point that "not" all Webmasters pay attention to suggestions or
complaints and gave one example.
I suspect in the real word its half way between my experience and your
experience. Unless you are someone of some repute they don't pay
attention. I suspect some are perfectionist and can't stand the thoughts
of anyone critiquing there work especially when you are a "typical" user
of the web.
I wish people would try to understand, that I represent people that
"use" the web, "use" email, "use" newsgroups. I'm not a designer/
developer. If that grates you nerves, I'm sorry; that's just the way it is.
I appologize now and future acts of nerve grating.
