And I have asked Mahz, two years ago, but he basically just acknowledged the problems I brought up, said he'd ask folks to do better, and said he's got it the way he wants it and he's not going to change it.  And then disappeared again.  Which takes us up to current date.

Although really that only highlights how right you are, TGM, in both paragraphs.

The changes needed will not be made, so the best any users can do is try not to contribute to the problem and try to be a positive influence, or if not an influence at least make a positive contribution.  It's not a very good option but it is the best we can expect here.

I'm mentioning you because I forget how to Reply and can't be asked to figure it out.
