Thanks for the benefit of the doubt there ERic.
Yeah...I'm a techno-rookie and don't have the faintest idea about what I'm doing. And...by inference from your statement "I'm an engineer, I thrive on logic. I see no logic in the proposed change." an IT programmer with 30+ years of programming experience doesn't know jack about logic...or efficiency of it.

Almost 20 of the Course topics have fewer than 50 posts in them...and several of those are only that busy because Birdshot held a mini there and folks posted up stuff there instead of the in town tournaments area.

So how about their TRUE commonality ERic which is: THEY DON'T GET DISCUSSION? <--- That is what I'm talking about and my whole objection to the current structure is!!!

I certainly appreciate all of your work on our behalf ERic! I'm one that actually knows how much you are doing behind the scenes!!!
I'm not sure that I have e-mail discussions going back that far, but weren't you one of the folks that recommended vBulletin to me for consideration? If so, then you certainly have my heartfelt Thanks for that too - we've been very successful in keeping spammers out of this one and I attribute most of that to vBulletin. Even with multiple upgrades and countless patches, I couldn't keep ahead of them using the old Discusware stuff. I know that you are the guy approving all of the new user-ids and I'm not sure that I can even find my way to that panel any more...
