guy, so the switch in servers and IPs doesn't mean much to me in terms
of appreciating the degree of work that went into it, but as an
end-user, I can certainly appreciate the new server/software. Messages
get through very quickly, and, although list traffic seems to be *way*
down, at the current level of traffic, I haven't seen any problems
beyond the initial post-move reply-to bugfix.
And, as much as I know you hate to hear people whine about it, the
upgrade *was* necessary. Let's face it, people are right when they say
that the old list was buggy, slow, sent doubles, and dropped messages,
particularly in high-traffic times. That doesn't mean you should have
to like hearing people bitch without saying thanks, but we've
certainly all got to admit that the new list is much, much better. But
you had to know when you got into this that people don't thank as
often as they criticise.
Thanks for your thankless work; I know we don't say it enough, but we
do appreciate it. I know my day at work would be a lot more empty if
it weren't for this list and the Forums. [You can't run statistics
*all* day, after all. :) ] The list, particularly, offers *open*,
*free* discussion with little moderation on all sorts of SR-centric
topics. Just my sort of place, natch.
So, in short, thanks for the work, and please understand when we don't
throw praise as often as we fling feces. It's in our blood, you know.
