Well, BB, that "inefficient system" you speak of, works just fine for everybody else that I know :) So, you're pretty much out of luck. WE are all volunteers here working on the books, but so are the people behind the scenes like Marcello, Aaron and Mike Hart. Yes, it's difficult to get people to work together sometimes. Research on what the term "compromise" means and you'll understand why we are able to work together despite differences of opinion. You give some, you take some. I'm not always going to get my way with regard to how I think things should be done with regard to how to do my post-processing, but it never hurts to ask the opinion of others who have done the same work to get their input on how I should do it. Yes, i don't have to take their advice, but I definately do listen to any and all opinions.

it seems -- to me anyway -- to be immoral to waste people's time
with an inefficient system when they are _volunteering_ that time.
if you are paying them, fine, but if they are volunteering, i believe
that you have some kind of moral obligation to use their time well.
