I know the count was important to you, you made that very clear to both Dan McClain and to me. However, Dan saw that it was becoming a distraction and he decided to eliminate it. Up until then, the only real 'whining' we heard was from you, especially your pleading PM to Dan to not drop the count.



Let it go

Ok I know that I have just thrown myself into the rath but if you all don't mind I would like to point out something that I feel is important , at least to me.

As for Mr 5 0's post count being zeroed out I have no doubt that more then " just a few members" noticed it . We/I just didn't respond to it because you stated how you felt about the whole thing and thats cool . I for one didn't want to question it for the fear of being , ( maby this isn't the correct word so forgive me ) shouted down or open a debate with you on the matter only to feel inferior. I don't debate very well as you know first hand and thats my misfortune. Be that as it may so I chose to let it go (being coy).

I think it's also unfair of you to bring up the subject matter of someones PM that was directed to another person . Why do we have the PM option anyway if it's not Private? If anyone wanted to make a conversation public then it would have been posted for ALL to see. I just seem to recall you saying something to the effect of things can be handeled via PM as to not clutter this forum with the likes of a flame war or misunderstandings ect. Yes I know who owns the site and that the moderators have a un-paid job to do so that everyony enjoys the best free site around and I respect that more then you know, but this bothers me .
Sorry for the rant but I had to get that out . Thanks
