While the post was aimed at Will, he, on the other hand, should recognize
that perhaps it is not the Board's fault that he had trouble with the web
site.

Wim,
As Will already said:




And why has this discussion turned to talking about me rather than the
unresolved problems?  I'm not the important issue here, the dysfunctional
software and lack of solutions are 


Will's a smart guy.  I'm sure he recognizes complexity and nuance.  At this
point, while it may, on the face of it, seem an irrational leap to blame the
Board, you ought to acknowledge the depth of frustration and distrust that
has been percolating over this issue in the last year.   For my part, I
would note that it was a bit hypocritical of me to attempt to inject levity
into his honest expression of exasperation, and yet I got pissy when Keith
McGavern and Terry Buckingham did the same to me in response to my complaint
about a posting delay on one of the new lists - Off-Topic.  

Since I mentioned Terry, however, I would like to respond to something he
said with regard to this current discussion:

I am pretty darn sure that putting the discussion on PTGL would not have any
more effect than leaving it on this list. They (whoever they are) don't
care.


What I was suggesting moving to PTG-L was not the  discussion of the
mechanical problems Will encountered, nor whether the Board ought to be
responding more effectively in dealing with the whole range of list issues.
It was the overtly political aspects that remain inappropriate for this
list.  Also, and not to be provocatively critical, Terry (a fine fellow, I'm
sure) is very likely incorrect about its effectiveness AND whether THEY
care.  As it happens, PTG-L  am us.  Every one of us PTG members.  Whether
or not I am an Hired Logic booster (I'm not),  I am as baffled as the Home
Office is as to why so few of the membership subscribes to that list.
Yeah, sometimes it's boring, but it's there for us, the membership.  If we
don't use it, it's our fault.  Simple as that.

Time to watch the Daily show and LOL -
