If everyone that suggests some change that a respected member of the community did not like and then said member sent a response like this I would guess that people would stop suggesting any changes/features. It is this kind of attitude that will drive new blood away from the project. I thought the idea was to try to encourage people to make improvements to the project rather than to drive them away. BTW I am not saying that any of the ideas that have been discussed in this thread are good or bad, just that this kind of response seems to be against the ethos of the project. Just my 2p Tom
