Jim, I don't understand WHY you feel impelled to keep throwing stones at DP. You don't like the way we do things, you've left ... it's all behind you, right? But no, you have to join the grouch group here at PG and repeatedly attack the organization that is providing the overwhelming majority of the texts submitted to PG.
If you read my comments carefully I think you will find that I try to speak truthfully to what works at DP and at PG and what doesn't work so that we all can try to fix it and make a better contribution to the world. In the business world this would be called "continuous improvement." PG'ers at least seem to be able to generally acknowledge what works and what doesn't work. In DP-land if you don't drink the koolaid and declare it tasty then you fall constantly under attack. If there are problems with how P3 works -- and there are -- one would think DP would want to face up to that and work to improve it -- just as in PG-land the lack of standards are causing texts to be distributed to users frequently missing or duplicating letters and words and in some cases whole paragraphs. I could say "gosh let's ignore this because DP and PG are all volunteers and their hearts are in the right places and I wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings" but that wouldn't change the facts: DP wastes a lot of volunteer time and in general makes things more painful than need be due to aged tools and approaches. And PG distributes a lot of stuff that ends up appearing "broken" to end users because of the standards chosen -- and/or the lack thereof.
