Implementation to servers? Unknown Requests for implementation? Ignored Any issues with means of implementation? Not known, not visible Systematic route to implementation? Seemingly not followed, and forgotten

It is so incredibly frustrating to have to get continually ask for the simple fix to be put in place for a whole set of sister sites. It is so incredibly humiliating to almost to get down and beg that some consideration be given to some of the smaller sites.

The utter silence that pervades these matters has moved from disregard and moving into disgraceful. That there is no communication or ability to even get an understanding of what can be expected is now well past disappointing and into unprofessional.

I understand that there is a big picture to consider, however, there is the matter of consideration, courtesy and respect, and these very sadly seem to be missing. The situation seems to be going from neglect and moving towards something approaching culpability by the management system.

If it is the noisy squeaky and disruptive that is the means to get something implemented, we can go there, however, surely, surely, surely, what we want is the polite and considerate.
