when these kind of important and critical changes are made by people from the other side of the Ocean, without consulting the hardworking people on this side of the Atlantic, people can become very upset. I can't feel anything of a community-feeling in

this way of acting.

Jeroen, I don't think many Wikipedians work harder than Brion. Not to mention his cooperativeness. Drastic problems call for drastic (temporary) measures till a better solution can be applied.

I for one don't feel there is an 'us and them' issue at all. Of course it helps that my biological clock for some mysterious reason is tuned to EST most of the time (and that my boss is very understanding).
