The desire is to discuss the idea and I believe I clearly stated this is a proposal and defined what that meant. If the Team decides this is a bad idea and we should not go there I will certainly support it. However, I was not aware of your authority to move content around to meet your personal needs. If I am wrong please help me understand as I did not know posting to the wiki required your approval. Once it is clear what this task is about, we can add it to the board. > > Again, who will make that decision and how will it be executed ( poll ) ? > This is similar to how you updated the Artwork Main page.

In the future show some respect and check with the author who invested time and initiative before taking action. I will be putting it back as before and I certainly welcome additional constructive dialog. IMO this is a great proposal. Respectfully, John
