infinityloop, I am sorry you have taken that reaction (Others who know me I hope would describe me as anything but arrogant, but it is ultimately besides the point). Re-reading my first post, I really fail to see where you got the idea from - I have demanded nothing. I have simply made an improvement suggestion based on experience and given examples, no more or less. Perhaps it was the idea itself. I am not offended nor have anything personal against you, and we both want the same thing: an improved more stable MP. However YOU are a forum administrator as well as team leader and so you wield greater power than many others here that are also trying to contribute to the project. In the course of this simple idea you have (IMO unnecessarily) moved my individual posts between threads, and changed your posted replies afterwards: I think you have done this because you feel I am arrogant, and that I am demanding something, but the reason is not important. What is important is that it happened. Please try to take your power and responsibility more seriously, ease off on the trigger finger and try not to knee jerk react when you read peoples forums posts. Also and read up on the significant research done into how common it is to misread emotions in email: http://www.google.com/search?q=email+communication+misunderstandingFailing to do this, your attitude whether right or wrong, justified or not will chase away potential developers and anyone who has a good idea that does not fit with your own personal view of how the project should be run. From what I am hearing there are not many developers to start with, and so far I am not encouraged to leap over myself and join up.
