Hi TDC and Dean. I saw the thread in question before it was removed.

I noticed the suggestion for having me provide input on your project...thanks for the vote of confidence...I'd be happy to help. I have some real life stuff I've been putting off for about 3 months now and am desperate to get back to before a fast approaching deadline. But I'll do what I can. Also, I totally concur with Foss and once you two have finalized the draft changes you would like to make to the current guidelines, I can certainly also help with a Top 10 List style polling page for getting everyone's vote before the final copy is created and published. And I suggest having Foss share the polling page link on the forums to boost participation and for getting feedback in greater detail. Foss is great at writing and I think everyone will most readily review the proposal with an open and impartial mind if the request comes from her. In fact, I think it would also be a great idea, if Foss has the time, for her to do a final review of the proposed changes before we share with the community. You may even want a few others to look it over at that time as well but that's up to you.

And let me just say how sorry I am for both of you that the others jumped in and said all that. And good for you, TDC, for not giving in to it. I don't know how either of you feels but, despite the fact that Foss created this site and there is nothing private here, I feel that a person's wall and user page should be their sanctuary, a place of relative safety, and the others had no business jumping in on the thread (except maybe Betty and Foss since they were only trying to help with your project).

If you two proceed with the project and would like me help, let me know. I'll do what I can. Thanks. 😍
