I don't think there is any argument about how busy Neil is or that he has plans for here.

But that doesn't mean that people can't post their input here about some things.

Now, whether it gets changed or not, that's up to Neil. But it is something to look into whenever he gets a chance.

(Sorry Neil, I know you get emails every time someone posts in here)

Yes there is. Sarge said in the link that I posted above;

"Enough of the "It's been 2 years get over it" comments too. If people are still complaining about things after 2 years... and it looks like people who don't normally complain are starting to pile on... then things are broken and need fixing. If the higher ups can't see that, then frankly they have no business being in this business

Guys,

I can tell you that this type of approach with me will not work well at all. I do not respond to comments that are not constructive -- I ignore them, so you lose mindshare and your chance to state a case.

I need to focus right now on MacTech Conference next week. It would be in everyone's best interest to back off this right now, and I'll look at it in a couple of weeks when I come up for air.

In the end, this is MacTech's decision -- that's not going to change.

Neil

Actually, that comment was directed squarely at you.

Want to bet? He mentioned here how busy he is and his basic roadmap but it seems to have been forgotten by some.


Oh look, a post in a forum subsection that nobody visits. Gee, I wonder why people weren't aware?

It originally was pinned at the top of every forum and left there for a while, the original was left here.

And you do realize that every post here Neil gets an email for so he has to take time out and check it out. If you have anymore to take up with me on this matter, PM or post it in the Lounge, don't waste his time please. While you're at it read his last two posts in this thread.

Having been a lurker through MC, through MW, through MM, and now MT-AC, I have a say in this, gosh darn it.

This is Neil's House.
Have respect.
He can run it however the heck he wants.
There are plenty of alternatives.

Neil, try to have fun next week, I have a feeling you're gonna need to.

Neil, sorry for this long thread that keeps sending you emails. I feel responsible because I tried to initiate the conversation about how the modertors are acting. Even this thread title shows I have explained myself poorly if the modertors think that subsections ae the problem. It's not, it's overactive moderators moving threads around until it seems a bit of a bad joke. Bill Atkinson thread which was about an iPad app gets moved to who know where. Yoys thread in the lounge about an NPR show on religion gets moved to the soapbox because it has religion in the title.

What they really need to do to keep the forum working, active, drawing new members is to back off.

Sorry again about going about this the wrong way right before you head off to the convention. If it was on the east coast I would go. I went to the first ten Boston MacWorlds when computer conventions were fun. Hope yours recaptures that wild west feel.

If one of your speakers falls thorugh with two days notice I can do 20 or 50 minutes on "Computers and Biotechnology, How to outdo Moores' Law when the data are overwhelming Moore".
