I can sure attest to that.  : (

The sad part to me is that when it comes to ANYthing regarding the council there is low or no response no matter where the discussion takes place (this thread is a pleasant exception).  Look at Dave's election announcement post at tmo.  I've even bumped it a few times and it still gets cursory attention and little input from the community.  In fact, that's true of many community-oriented topics.  Ah, another challenge for the next council, whoever they turn out to be...
