@J. Howland, Thanks.
@John I think you are comparing apples and oranges. First, you list two companies that monitor their board. I would say that many, many others don't. And, with the larger companies, users are not going to have any type of relationship with those people from the company if they even post at all. I'm not saying this will be perfect. It may not work at all. But, for 10 years I have been posting on this board asking AC to do this or that. I don't think one of those this or thats have ever been done or even acknowledge by AC. This is a step in the right direction.
@Wayne I really do not think this is going to change the way people post. To come clean, I have only posted in General Discussion my entire existence on the board. I still think most of us with questions, answers, complaints, rants, etc. will post elsewhere. This is basically if you want a certain topic to be heard at the meeting. John, I think you are one who wanted closed folders (which there are now). I believe you and Jon posted at least 30 times each on that. When did that get fixed. To know that one post on it may get it in front of Kathleen or Mr. Squire I would think would be helpful. It's hard to imagine those two stating "Well that's a stupid idea."
As to another layer, here is why. If you brought up the closed folders, is tech support whose only role on the board is to answer questions going to take that back to AC. Is Charlie going to even know what that is. But, I am sure one of the nine will see it, relate to it, and bring it up.
I am not completely sure how this will work either. If there is even one suggestion a day, that would be 30 to talk about. But, that, I think, is where Wendell or Steven or Jon will be able to edit some of the comments.
