Mockingbird,
I really like you, and in the past we've agreed and disagreed a lot!!! But I have to respectfully say that I really don't like this idea.
I specifically don't like that it takes away from what Jeanne and everyone else "behind the scenes" has worked so hard to create. If your intention is to create your own website, more power to you. But I think it's wrong for you to advertise this on THEIR site and/or make changes to their site that weren't authorized by them.
If this has been run by Jeanne and she's ok with it, then I recant. But I don't know if it was so I wanted to share how I feel about the issue.
I think it's going to cause more alienation than anything. I know a lot of people don't agree with some things I've done. And they don't hesitate to tell me. As much as it might sting to hear the TRUTH. But people need to realize that if they ask questions, they WILL get answers. And if it's a very open ended question, they will get an array of different answers. If they are more specific and concice about the info. they are requesting answers on, it helps narrow down the responses.
I like your effort, but I think it's a bad idea and I really hope you ran it by the owners first.
