well, jim, since you have said that i am one of the people who don't know what it is that y'all _do_ here, perhaps you would like to explain to us all what it is that you think i fail to comprehend in sufficient detail? because i think i understand it just fine. i even believe i can provide some solutions that you've been unable to provide yourself, such as the he/be thing discussed recently, just to give one concrete example. or, since this thread was talking about the promo boards, a few of the "challenges" that you laid out there, years ago, if you haven't gotten them solved yet. i fully realize that a lot of the people who criticize you and your processes do not fully understand what you're doing, and that wears a person down after a while. but when you put me in that category, i think you are making a big mistake... like the far-too-numerous false-alarms in gutcheck, which cause you to ignore the alarms entirely and therefore miss the times when the alarm was true, i think you've come to ignore everybody's criticism, chalking it up to "you don't know what we do here, and you certainly don't know as much about it as i do", and therefore miss out on some poignant feedback... so by all means, tell me what it is that you do that is so difficult to grasp that i don't get it... -bowerbird
