On this point I agree with Gary. A little while ago I suggested what I felt
was a small and reasonable change. Someone promptly bit my head off without
bothering to tell me what was wrong with my idea. I remain leery of
suggesting any future ideas even though I still don't understand what was so
blasphemous about the idea I suggested. Strange accusations like "Are you
trying to destroy the pedia?" is not the way to foster constructive
discussion about the possibilities of the software or the content.
