You know what? That is getting more than a little aggravating. If someone voices their displeasure they are automatically a 'whiner'? Okay, fine. There are nice little labels for people who incessantly suck up, too.

Apologies if the term whiner disturbed you. Perhaps it doesn’t apply in your particular case. I simply bristle when two men who have devoted a significant portion of their finances, time and energy to developing and maintaining this site are subjected to the _____ (fill in the blank with descriptive noun of your choosing) that I am reading on this thread.

If some of you who are uncomfortable with the present format would simply take a little time to get used to the newness of it, maybe you would find that a lot of the negative comments might better have been left unsaid. (Or maybe not. There is surely room for improvement in any re-vamping, but a nanosecond after its implementation is no time to start issuing criticisms or complaints.)

I plan to private reply Jim Robinson regarding both positive and negative reactions to the change, but not until I am totally familiar with the new system.

I am not necessarily talking about you (your comments were not of the type to which I am referring), but people on this thread who have instantaneously begun complaining (some simply because their heretofore normal routine has been changed) smack of immaturity (and, in the particular case of this forum, ingratitude).

Contrary to the opinion of the majority on this thread, change can be a good thing….if one goes to the trouble of trying to comprehend the improvements made thereby.

(/end of suck up....an inappropriate term, from my perspective. But I defend your right to label it such. :)
