I think that this topic demonstrates that you can't please all of the people all of the time. I believe that John,as webmaster, should make some "executive" decisions when he feels that it's in the best interest of the group, or in response to issues passed on to him in many ways. The people known as saints here have earned their stripes by providing service "above and beyond" to the rest of us in keeping the HL website and forums up and running. Some participants here have been around since the AOL group discussions, some since John's old website, and some are fairly new, but we all can share and learn from each other. So let's not sweat the small stuff, and enjoy our favorite lighthouses big and small.
